Removing Iodine & Acetyl chloride
« on: April 21, 2006, 10:10:49 AM »
I done an acetylation reaction of 3-hydroxy benzldehyde very well using acetyl chloride as acetylating agent and iodine was used as a powerful catalyst in this solvent-free reaction.

But after the reaction completion, in work-up, what should I do to remove both these reagents ? I read that Sodium thiosulfate can be used for iodine but also read that it may also react with my aldehyde.

Pls suggest something....

a simple wash with alkaline water should be ok!

faust !

It (NaHCO3) may work for acetyl chloride but not for iodine.

What for Iodine ?

Sodium bisulfite can be used to remove iodine, but I don't know whether it will react with an aldehyde.

I2 + 2S2O32- -> 2I- + S4O62-

No idea about aldehyde.

Sodium bisulfite reacts with aldehydes...it forms a white ppt. (so-called "bisulfite addition compounds")

A brainstorm is in the best position now to solve the problem :-)
You should break the problem into small pieces and solve them one by one.

Addition of water will surely react with the acetyl chloride and form the acid.
It will probably make the hydrationproduct of the aldehyde to. Perhaps making it more watersoluble?

Acetyl chloride is removed !  ;D

But what about Iodine ?

Still I'm looking something for this....  ???

I am thinking for purification your product from iodine using flash chromatography with starch as sorbent. Starch(amilose or amilopektine i cant remember) form blue complex compound with elemental iodine...Is your organic product soluble in ethanol?
Success!

I dont know, as a wild thought, Will any LLE solvent work.
I mean where partition coeff for your aldehyde & iodine are diff.

See, every research has some commercial part attached to it.
So we have to see practical & economical solutions.

I am not aware of any such solvent right now, as I am not a chemist,
but getting it reacted with any compund such as sodium thio, carbonate, etc
doesn't have any commercial sense.

Thats why still lot of research is going on for Acetylation of Aromatics.
I know one process where solid catalyst is used which is re-usable without any
significant loss of reactivity, BUT yet to be tested.
