- A simple and efficient two-step synthesis of 1,2,3-triiodoarenes via consecutive C-H iodination/ipso-Iododecarboxylation strategy: A potential application towards Ortho-diiodoarenes by Regioselective metal-iodine exchange reaction
-
A general, robust, and efficient method for the conversion of benzoic acids to 1,2,3-triiodoarenes and 1,2,3-trihaloarenes via a two-step synthesis is reported. Commercially available benzoic acids were used that can allow the reactions to be performed on multi-gram scales with good-to-excellent yields. This report discloses a practical method for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triiodoarenes and 1,2,3-trihaloarenes that is general in scope, scalable, and easy to workup and purify. A potential application of the target compounds as precursors for novel regioselective metal-iodine exchange reaction of 1,2,3-triiodoarenes was also demonstrated. It provided ortho-diiodoaryl derivatives in a high regioselective fashion that are useful intermediates in synthesis and indeed are hard to synthesize by any other means.

- Preparation of N-Substituted Phthalimides by Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation and Coupling of o-Dihalo Aromatics and Primary Amines
-
A novel method for the formation of N-substituted phthalimides is described which is based on the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation and coupling of o-dihalo aromatics and primary amines.Optimal conditions established for the reaction using o-diiodobenzene and aniline were DMAc (0.2 M), 115 deg C, 90 psi of CO, 3 percent PdCl2L2, and 2.4 equiv of DBU.This process is tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups and gives good yields of the desired products.Variables such as temperature, catalyst type and loading, CO pressure, solvent, and base were examined to optimize this reaction.The reaction of aniline with 1,2-dibromocyclopentene under similar conditions gave a variety of products.
