Abstract

Direct iodination of a variety of aromatic compounds is achieved by using nitrogen dioxide as an oxidant in addition to iodine. The reaction affords aromatic monoidodides in high yields with high para-regioselectivity. 4, 4′-Diiodo binuclear compounds are also obtained effectively by controlling the stoichiometry.© 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
