Reaction Steps

H2SO4 (73.3 ml, 1375 mmol) was added to 2-(4-bromophenoxy)-5-iodobenzoic acid (28.800 g, 68.7 mmol) at rt. The resulting dark mixture was heated to 60° C. for 45 minutes. The brown solution was poured slowly onto ice-water (1 L) with stirring. The resulting tan precipitant was collected by filtration, washed with water a 1 N solution of NaOH, again with water, and dried under reduced pressure to afford 2-bromo-7-iodo-9H-xanthen-9-one (23.4 g) as a tan solid that was used without further purification.
