N-Iodosuccinimide → 3-Bromo-2-iodo-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (5.00 g) in acetic acid (40 mL) was added N-iodosuccinimide (5.16 g) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (5.21 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.58 (2H, brs), 6.84 (1H, d, J=1.1 Hz), 7.23 (1H, d, J=1.1 Hz).
