Electrophilic iodination of 4-nitroimidazoles - A new high yielding method for the synthesis of 4-nitro-5-iodoimidazoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408011194

Electrophilic iodination of 4-nitroimidazoles employing the system KI- HNO₃-AcOH provided a new route for the synthesis of 4-nitro-5-iodoimidazoles in high yields. With 2-unsubstituted-4-nitroimidazoles, 2,5-diiodo-4- nitroimidazoles were obtained.
