Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Iodo-4-methyl benzoic acid was converted to the corresponding benzamide according to the procedure described for compound la above ((COCl)2, NH4OH), to provide 3-iodo-4-methyl benzamide in 93% yield. Further conversion according to Method B described above provided compound 10 in 48% yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.02 (1 H, d, J=1.6 Hz), 7.95 (1 H, d, J=7.9 Hz), 7.29 (1 H, d, J=7.9 Hz), 6.46 (1 H, d, J=15.9 Hz), 6.10 (1 H, br s), 5.75 (1 H, br s), 4.08 (2 H, q, J=7.1 Hz), 2.48 (3 H, s), 1.42 (3 H, t, J=7.1 Hz) Anal.
