I performed an electrophilic aromatic substitution- iodination of salicylamide.
I used 1.012 g of solid salicylamide in 20 mL ethanol. 1.205 g of sodium iodide was also added. Then I placed the solution in an ice bath for 5 min and after this time 7.0 mL of 8.25% NaOCl was added.
What is the expected product and why?
(At the end of lab, and IR was obtained and this indicated the product to be a 1,2,4-trisubstituted aromatic compound).
What is the identity of the product and was it the same as the expected? What is the theoretical yield?
