Procedure

8-Iodooct-1-ene was prepared by refluxing 5 g of 8-bromooct-1-ene (26 mmol) and 10 g of sodium iodide in 50 ml of acetone for 1 hour. The acetone was stripped and the residue was partitioned between water and ether. The aqueous phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and stripped to give 5.66 g of 8-iodooct-1-ene.
