Ready access to organoiodides: Practical hydroiodination and double-iodination of carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds with I2

By using I2 or I2/H3PO3 system, various alkenes and alkynes were converted to the corresponding alkyl and alkenyl iodides in good yields. In the presence of I2, alkynes could be di-iodinated using H2O as the solvent in air at room temperature. This method also features the simple work-up procedure since the pure product could be obtained by extraction. Additionally, for the first time, combining with the non-toxic and cheap phosphonic acid H3PO3, alkenes and alkynes were also hydroiodinated successfully, which provides a simple and practical approach for synthesis of organoiodides.

Method of preparing iodine alkane by using rhodium catalysis

The invention relates to the field of organic synthesis and discloses a synthetic method of iodine alkane. The synthetic method of the iodine alkane, disclosed by the invention, comprises the following steps: taking olefin as a starting raw material, adding a rhodium metal catalyst, a phosphine ligand, a solvent and molecular iodine into a pressurizing reaction kettle, introducing hydrogen and then synthesizing a series of the iodine alkane by using one-step reaction. The reaction temperature is 0 to 60 DEG C, the molar ratio of the rhodium metal to the olefin is (0.00001 to 1) to (0.1 to 1) and the molar ratio of the iodine to the olefin is (0.5 to 1) to (10 to 1). The synthetic method of the iodine alkane, disclosed by the invention, has obvious advantages of wide application range, short process flow and low cost of the raw materials; the synthetic method of the iodine alkane is suitable for industrialized production of a series of the iodine alkanes.
