A new direct homolytic iodination reaction of alkanes by perfluoroalkyl iodides

A new method for the direct free-radical chain iodination of alkanes by perfluoroalkyl iodides is described.

Direct Iodination of Alkanes

(Matrix presented) A cheap and efficient iodination of hydrocarbons can be achieved by generating tert-butyl hypoiodite from iodine and sodium tert-butoxide. The alkane is reactant and solvent, and this metal-free process provides a clean solution for their direct iodination.
