Abstract

New methodolgy for direct iodination of benzenoid compounds has been developed; the aromatic substrate is simply mixed with iodine and sulfuric acid, suspended in an inert medium, such as 1, 1, 2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CF2CICFCl2) or perfluorocarbon, and elemental fluorine is passed through the system at room temperature. High conversions to iodoaromatic products occur, even with some deactivated systems, eg nitrobenzene. A ...
