Procedure

A mixture of 5-amino-4′-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (10.9 g, 45.2 mmol), iso-amyl nitrite (36.5 ml, 271.4 mmol) and diiodomethane (23 ml, 271.4 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was then heated to 65° C. and kept at this temperature for 8 hours. The reaction mixture to room temperature and then added to a stirred solution of piperidine/CH3CN (V:V=90 ml:90 ml). A vigorous exothermic reaction ensued. The excess volatile reagents were removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, water, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography, eluting with n-hexane, followed by n-hexane/ethyl acetate (20:1), giving 5-Iodo-4′-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as white yellow solid (10.5 g, 66%).
