| Application: | Methyl 2-iodobenzoate may be used in the preparation of: • N-substituted 4-methylene-3,4-dihydro-1 • methyl diphenylacetylene-2-carbo • methyl 2-heptynylphenylbenzoate • (E)-2-[3-[3-[2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-oxopropyl]benzoic acid methyl ester • 4-(2-carbomethoxyphenyl)-3-(1-methylethoxy)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione • 3-(2-carbomethoxyphenyl)-4-methylcyclobuten-3-ene-1,2-dione 2-(ethylene acetal) |
| General description: | Methyl 2-iodobenzoate can be prepared from 2-iodobenzoic acid via esterification. It undergoes cobalt-catalyzed cyclization with aldehydes to form phthalide derivatives. The microbial dihydroxylation of methyl 2-iodobenzoate forms a nonracemic iodocyclohexene carboxylate intermediate. This intermediate forms the precursor for preparing kibdelone C. |
