Methyl iodide → HCID 59020123, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Part A. 1-(4-Iodophenyl)cyclopropyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.14 g, 5.85 mmol) was stirred in THF (20 mL) at 0° C. under N2. MeI (3 mL) was added followed by portionwise addition of NaH (2.34 g, 5 eq). The reaction was stirred at rt overnight. Several drops of H2O and EtOAc (20 mL) were added to quench the reaction. The organic solvent was evaporated, and H2O was added. It was extracted with Et2O (2×), washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by FCC (silica gel, CH2Cl2:hexanes=0:1 to 1:1 to 1:0) to give pure [1-(4-iodophenyl)cyclopropyl]-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid (2.07 g, yield 95%). LC/MS (ESI+) 373.8 (M+H), tR=2.95 min (10–90% CH3CN in H2O in a 4-min run).
