Abstract

Direct α-iodination of some carboxylic acids, namely, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid, using iodine-copper salt, gave the corresponding α-iodo carboxylic acid in high yield. This new synthetic method afforded several advantage over classical α-iodo carboxylic acid procedures.
