Procedure B for the Synthesis of Iodohydrins 3. Hydroiodic acid (57 wt.% in H2O, 1.2 equiv.) was added to a solution of epoxide 2 (1.0 equiv.) in CH2Cl2 (0.5 M with respect to the epoxide) and the reaction mixture was stirred in the dark. Upon completion as indicated by TLC, the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL). It was washed with an aqueous 10% solution of NaHCO3, an aqueous 10% solution of Na2S2O3, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude was purified by column chromatography to afford the wanted iodohydrin.
