Sodium Iodide → Iodomethyl octyl carbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of chloromethyl octyl carbonate (1.14 g, 0.005 mol) in acetone (10 ml) was added sodium iodide (2.3 g, 0.015 mol). The mixture was stirred for 3 hours, concentrated invacuo, and dissolved in dichloromethane (50 ml). This solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, aqueous sodium thiosulfate, and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated invacuo to yield iodomethyl octyl carbonate (1.14 g).
