Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloromethyl pivalate (6 mL) was dissolved in dry acetone (500 mL) in an atmosphere of N2. To the mixture was added dry potassium iodide (15.33 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for two days. After this time the mixture was filtered to yield a clear solution of iodomethyl pivalate.
