Synthetic use of poly[4-(diacetoxyiodo)styrene] for organic reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.72.2351

Poly[4-(diacetoxyiodo)styrene] is sufficiently reactive for the iodination of aromatics, the oxidative 1,2-aryl migration of alkyl aryl ketones, the α-hydroxylation of ketones, and the oxidation of hydroquinones and sulfides similarly to (diacetoxyiodo)benzene. Here, those reactions with poly[4-(diacetoxyiodo)styrene] are very useful because of the simple operation; thus, filtration gives the crude products and recovered poly(4- iodostyrene), and then poly[4-(diacetoxyiodo)-styrene] can be regenerated by oxidation of the recovered poly(4-iodostyrene), which are reused for the same reactions.
