- 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.

- Direct Polyiodination of Benzenesulfonic Acid
-
Direct aromatic polyiodination of benzenesulfonic acid (using I2 and H5IO6 in H2SO4 at room temperature) was performed to test the possible intermediacy of C6H5SO3H in the corresponding direct polyiodination of benzene to C6H2I4.The major product from C6H5SO3H was 3,4,5-triiodobenzenesulfonic acid (4).In contrast, no 4 was formed in the C6H6 reaction, showing that no significant sulfonation of C6H6 to C6H5SO3H occurred during benzene iodination.Compound 4 itself was shown to be inert under the reaction conditions.A pathway is proposed from C6H5SO3H to the other reaction products (C6I6, C6I5H, two C6I4H2 isomers, and 3,4,5-triiodophenol), which therefore avoids the intermediacy of 4.
