Oxidative iodination of deactivated arenes in concentrated sulfuric acid with I2/NaIO4 and KI/NaIO4 iodinating systems

Deactivated arenes were mono- or diiodinated with strong electrophilic I+ reagents, which were prepared from NaIO4 and either I2 or KI in concentrated H2SO4 (minimum 95% by weight). In general a small excess of the dark brown iodinating solution was used (1.1/1.5 equivalents, for nitrobenzene two equivalents was required). The iodinations were conducted at 25-30 °C with a reaction time of 1-2 hours using either a 'direct' or an 'inverse' method of aromatic iodination to give mono- or diiodinated pure products in 31-91% optimized yields.

Easy, inexpensive and effective oxidative iodination of deactivated arenes in sulfuric acid

Two 'model' deactivated arenes, benzoic acid and nitrobenzene, were effectively monoiodinated within 1 h at 25-30 °C, with strongly electrophilic I+ reagents, prior prepared from diiodine and various oxidants (CrO3, KMnO4, active MnO2, HIO 3, NaIO3, or NaIO4) in 90% (v/v) concd sulfuric acid (ca. 75 mol% H2SO4). Next, an I2/ NaIO3/90% (v/v) concd H2SO4 exemplary system was used to effectively mono- or diiodinate a number of deactivated arenes. All former papers dealing with the direct iodination of deactivated arenes are briefly reviewed.

Direct Aromatic Periodination

Periodic acid and iodine in concentrated sulfuric acid exhaustively iodinated unactivated aromatic substrates.Thus benzene, nitrobenzene, benzoic acid, chlorobenzene, phthalic anhydride, and toluene were all converted to their periodo derivatives.Benzonitrile was converted to pentaiodobenzamide.This direct method compared favorably with the only general periodination procedure available, a mercuration/iododemercuration sequence.Partially iodinated products were obtained under less vigorous conditions.Thus, triiodo derivatives were obtained from nitrobenzene, benzo-ic acid, and toluene; tetraiodo derivatives were obtained from benzene, chlorobenzene, and trifluorobenzene.
