Gen er a l P r oced u r e for Iod in a tion . A mixture of aromatics
(0.5 mmol), (diacetoxyiodo)arene (0.9 mmol), and iodine (0.9
mmol) in dry ethyl acetate (5 mL) was stirred for 5 h at 60 °C
under dark conditions and an argon atmosphere. The resulting
solution was quenched with aq Na2SO3, and the solution was
extracted with chloroform twice. The extract was dried over
Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure; the residual
oil was purified by preparative TLC on silica gel using hexane.
Gen er a l P r oced u r e for Oxid a tion of Su lfid e. Sulfide (1
mmol) was added to (diacetoxyiodo)arene (2.0 mmol), in chlo-
roform (5 mL) containing 1% of water. The mixture was stirred
for 72 h at 40 °C under an argon atmosphere. Then the reaction
mixture was evaporated, and the residue was purified by
preparative TLC on silica gel (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate )
5/1) to give pure sulfoxide and sulfone.

Amide (1 mmol) was added to the homogeneous solution of
methanol (50 mL) and KOH (2.5 mmol), and subsequently
(diacetoxyiodo)arene (1 mmol) was added to the solution. The
mixture was stirred for 15 min at 0 °C and then for 1 h at room
temperature under argon atmosphere. Then, the reaction mix-
ture was evaporated, and the residue was treated with pTLC
on silica gel (eluent: hexane: ethyl acetate ) 3:1) to give
carbamate ester.

2. To the solution of iodoarene (10 mmol) in acetic acid (100 mL)
was added sodium perborate tetrahydrate (100 mmol) over 0.5
h. Then the solution was heated at 50-60 °C for 8-24 h under
argon atmosphere, until the starting iodoarene disappeared.
After the reaction, the solvent was removed. Water was added
to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform
for three times (30 mL × 3). The combined organic layer was
dried over Na2SO4. After the filtration, the solvent was removed,
and the residue was recrystallized from chloroform and hexane.

Gen er a l P r oced u r e for th e Ra d ica l Cycliza tion . (Diac-
etoxyiodo)arene (0.8 mmol) and iodine (0.5 mmol) were added
to a solution of amide (0.5 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL).
The mixture was irradiated with a tungsten lamp (500 W) at
20-30 °C for 2 h under agon atmosphere. After the reaction,
the mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous sodium sulfite
solution and extracted with chloroform three times. The organic
layer was dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent,
the residue was treated with pTLC on silica gel (eluent: hexane:
ethyl acetate:chloroform ) 6:3:1) to give the cyclized product.
