Phenyliodoniophenolates from 1,3-Dihydroxybenzene Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)89291-7

A new type of phenyliodonio phenolates resulting from the reaction of 1,3-dihydroxy benzene derivatives and (diacetoxyiodo)benzene were isolated and characterized.The new phenolates afforded cyclization products from their photochemical reaction with alkenes and alkynes and phenyl ethers from their thermal rearrangement.A possible reaction pathway is proposed in order to explain the regioselectivity of these reactions.
