Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methanesulfonyloxymethyl-7-phenoxy-1,4-benzodioxane (1.85 g, 5.5 mmol) and sodium iodide (1.54 g, 11.0 mmol) are taken up in methyl ethyl ketone (60 mL) and heated at reflux for 3 hours. The mixture is cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give 2-iodomethyl-7-phenoxy-1,4-benzodioxane as a tan solid. This is used without further purification.
