Facile iodination of the vinyl groups in protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester and subsequent transformation of the iodinated moieties

Iodination of protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester using phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) and I2 was studied. Iodine added to both the C3- and C8-vinyl groups equally to afford the iodohydrin or iodoether in the presence of water or alcohol, respectively. Any meso-hydrogen atom was not substituted by an iodine atom under these conditions, although both the vinyl group and one of the meso positions of methyl pyropheophorbide-a bearing a chlorin π-system, a chlorophyll-a derivative, was modified with PIFA and I2. The reaction intermediates derived from the porphyrin were more reactive than those from the chlorin and liable to form intermolecular linkages. The obtained 2-iodo-1-hydroxyethyl group was transformed into a formyl group by a mild treatment. The corresponding iodoether moiety was readily converted into the acetyl group under basic conditions. These transformations were also applicable to smaller olefins such as styrene.

Benzyl(triphenyl)phosphonium Dichloroiodate: A New Reagent for Coiodination of Alkenes

A mild, efficient, and regio- and stereoselective method for iodoalkoxylation and iodohydroxylation of olefins has been developed using benzyl(triphenyl)phosphonium dichloroiodate as iodine source. This procedure led to the corresponding iodoalkoxylated and iodohydroxylated products in moderate to excellent yields.

Combination of NH2OH·HCl and NaIO4: an effective reagent for molecular iodine-free regioselective 1,2-difunctionalization of olefins and easy access of terminal acetals

We have demonstrated a new application of our oxidizing reagent, a combination of NH2OH·HCl and NaIO4, in the first generalized regioselective 1,2-difunctionalization of olefins. It is a general method for the preparation of β-iodo-β′-hydroxy ethers, β-iodo ethers, β-iodohydrin, and β-iodo acetoxy compounds using different reaction media. The reactions are highly regioselective, always affording Markovnikov's type addition products. The methodology is also applicable for the easy access of terminal acetals. Molecular iodine-free synthesis, room temperature reaction conditions, high yields, use of less expensive reagents, mild reaction conditions, broad applicability of nucleophiles, and applicability for gram-scale synthesis are the notable advantages of this present protocol.

Envirocat (K10-MX)-catalyzed regioselective transformation of alkenes into iodohydrins and β-iodo ethers and further conversion of iodohydrins to epoxides using Al2O3-Na2Co3 under MWI

Commercial K10 clay was converted to extremely efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst K10-MX for the preparation of iodohydrins and β-iodo ethers from alkenes (terminal as well as internal) using microwave irradiation. This method was further extended for the conversion of alkenes to epoxides via iodohydrin intermediate in a one-pot reaction system. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Dichloroiodoisocyanuric acid: A new reagent for regioselective coiodination of alkenes and iodination of activated arenes

Dichloroiodoisocyanuric acid was prepared in 93% by heating trichloroisocyanuric acid with 1.05 mol equiv. of iodine. This new reagent is very efficient for regioselective electrophilic iodination of activated arenes. Alkenes react with dichloroiodoisocyanuric acid in the presence of oxygenated nucleophiles (water, alcohols, and acetic acid), leading to the corresponding iodohydrins, β-iodoethers and β-iodoacetates with reaction times of less than one minute and with a high degree of regioselectivity. Enol ethers resulted in the regioselective formation of the corresponding iodine-dialkylacetals. Experimental results and DFT calculations showed that dichoroiodoisocyanuric acid is more reactive with unsaturated systems than triiodoisocyanuric acid.

Triiodoisocyanuric acid: a new and convenient reagent for regioselective coiodination of alkenes and enolethers with oxygenated nucleophiles

The reaction of triiodoisocyanuric acid (prepared from I2 and trichloroisocyanuric acid in 90% yield) with alkenes in the presence of oxygenated nucleophilic solvents (alcohols, AcOH and H2O) led to the corresponding β-iodoethers, β-iodoacetates and iodohydrins, in 66-98% isolated yield. Enolethers reacted with triiodoisocyanuric acid in MeOH to produce dialkylacetals (70-83%).

The reaction of alkenes and iodine in water, alcohols and acetic acid is catalyzed with ceric triflate under mild conditions. The corresponding 1,2-alkoxy, acetoxy, and hydroxy iodides are obtained in good yields with easy procedure. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The preparation of diverse β-iodo ethers and iodohydrins is efficiently achieved in mild conditions by reaction of alkenes with two equivalents of I2 and alcohols (EtOH, i-PrOH, t-BuOH) or water, respectively.
