Abstract

The use of molecular iodine in organic synthesis has been known for a long time and, in recent years, it has received considerable attention as an inexpensive, nontoxic, readily available, and mild Lewis acid catalyst for various organic reactions under convenient conditions affording the desired products in excellent yields. [11] Moreover, it has high solubility in organic solvents and is easily removed from the reaction mixture. ... As a part of our continued [12] work on ...
