1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): d = 2.06–2.61 (m, 6 H, 3 CH2), 3.82
(s, 3 H, CH3).
1,3-Diphenylpropane-1,3-dione (3p, 0.224 g, 1.0 mmol) and MeCN
(3 mL) were placed in a light-protected flask and then I2 (0.130 g,
0.51 mmol) and m-iodosylbenzoic acid (1, 0.145 g, 0.55 mmol)
were added with stirring at 5 °C. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for
30 min (TLC monitoring) and then the mixture was cooled to 0 °C
and CH2Cl2 (3 mL) was added. Amberlite IRA 900 HCO3– 5 (1.5 g)
was added in small portions and the mixture was stirred for 10 min
at 0 °C in the dark. After that 2 additional portions of Amberlite
(each 0.1 g) were added (TLC monitoring for complete disappear-
ance of m-iodobenzoic acid; attention: any excessive amount of
Amberlite IRA 900 HCO3– 5 binds with the enol form of the iodi-
nated diketone and thus leads to reduced yields). The Amberlite
polymer 6 (containing absorbed iodine and all acidic byproducts
and excessive reagent 1) was removed by filtration and the soln was
concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4p (0.340 g, 97%) as
off-white crystals. Additional recrystallization of crude product
(hexane–CH2Cl2, 5:1, 10 mL) in a light-protected flask afforded an-
alytically pure 4p (0.322 g, 92%) as needles; mp 105–106 °C (Lit.9a
104–105 °C).

Recovery of m-Iodobenzoic Acid (2): Amberlite polymer 6 was
washed with 5% aq NaHSO3 (5 mL) and then H2O (5 mL) and con-
cd aq HCl (3 mL) were added and the resulting suspension was
stirred for 10 min. The precipitation of white crystals of m-iodoben-
zoic acid (2) was observed. Sat. aq NaCl (5 mL) was added and the
resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL). The ex-
tract was dried and evaporated to afford crystalline m-iodobenzoic
acid (2) (0.130 g, 95% recovery).
Iodinated products 4j–o were prepared by a similar procedure and
identified by comparison of their 1H NMR spectra (see below) with
the literature data. The reaction times and yields of crude products
are shown in Table 1. In each reaction m-iodobenzoic acid (2) was
easily regenerated (recovery up to 95%) from IRA 900 by treatment
with aq HCl and reused without additional purification.
