Abstract

A facile synthesis of 1, 4-dialkoxy-2, 5-diiodobenzenes via diiodination of the corresponding dialkoxybenzenes with iodine monochloride has been developed. Employment of an alcoholic solvent as a reaction medium is crucial for attaining a high yield; the reaction in a nonalcoholic solvent usually resulted in a poor yield. The diiodobenzene derivatives are useful intermediates in the synthesis of such advanced materials as soluble ...
