Novel Easy Preparations of Some Aromatic Iodine(I, III, and V) Reagents, Widely Applied in Modern Organic Synthesis *
Lech Skulski Molecules 8, 45-52,2003http://www.mdpi.org/molecules/papers/80100045.pdf
Abstract:... We report our novel (or considerably improved) methods for the synthesis of aromatic iodides, (dichloroiodo)arenes, (diacetoxyiodo)arenes, [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)-iodo]arenes, iodylarenes and diaryliodonium salts, as well as some facile, oxidative anion
metatheses in crude diaryliodonium or tetraalkylammonium halides and, for comparison,potassium halides. All our formerly published papers were discussed and explained in our review ÒOrganic Iodine(I, III, and V) Chemistry: 10 Years of Development at the Medical University of Warsaw, PolandÓ (1990-2000) [1].
Conclusions,..This lecture shows our small groupÕs main interest in developing novel (or considerably improved) preparative procedures, which are suitable for easy, quick, cheap, and possibly enviromentally benign preparations of iodoarenes and some basic aromatic hypervalent iodine reagents: ArICl2, ArI(OAc)2, ArI(OCOCF3)2, ArIO2, and diaryliodonium salts with substantially non-nucleophilic counter ions (suitable for the arylation of organic and inorganic nucleophiles). Our earlier works (1990-2000) are Molecules 2003, 8,51 related and discussed in our extensive review [1]; in this lecture our works published in 2001 [4, 7, 8,10, 13] are also covered and referred to, as well as those published in 2002 [6, 11, 12].
