Sulfuric Acid → HCID 22285020, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3-iodo-2-napthoic acid (Preparation 5) (6.50 g), were added MeOH (100 mL) and concentrated H2SO4 (2 mL), and the resultant heterogeneous mixture was refluxed for 13 hr. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to RT, then neutralized with NaHCO3 (6.0 g), and the volatile component was removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water (50 mL) and EtOAc (300 mL). The organic layer was washed with Na2S2O3 solution (4.2 g +50 mL of water) and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting crude material was submitted to flash chromatography (sample was loaded as a silica gel mesh, 10% EtOAc/hexanes) to isolate the title compound as a light-yellow solid (5.50 g, 2 steps combined yield of 69%). 1H NMR (DMSO, δ=2.50): 8.66 (s, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.06 (d, J=8.0, 1H), 7.95 (d, J=8.0, 1H), 7.69-7.62 (m, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H). (DCI) m/z (M+H)+=313.0. Anal. calculated for C12H9IO2: C, 46.18; H, 2.91. Found: C, 46.28; H, 2.85.
