1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin-An efficient reagent for iodination of aromatic compounds

1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in organic solvents successfully iodinates alkylbenzenes, aromatic amines, and phenyl ethers. The reactivity of electrophilic iodine is controlled by acidity of the medium. Superelectrophilic iodine generated upon dissolution of 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in sulfuric acid readily reacts with electron-deficient arenes at 0 to 20°C with formation of the corresponding iodo derivatives in good yields. The structure of electrophilic iodine species generated from 1,3-diiodo-5,5- dimethylhydantoin in sulfuric acid is discussed.

Isostructurality of quinoxaline crystal phases: The interplay of weak hydrogen bonds and halogen bonding

Tailoring the physical properties of molecular crystals though the construction of solid solutions requires the existence of isostructural crystals. Simple substitutions of a given molecular framework can give a range of different crystal structures. A se

Tetraalkylammonium dichloroiodates as iodinating agents: Absence of activity in solid phases and superelectrophilic activity in sulfuric acid

In contrast to published results, tetraalkylammonium dichloroiodates (Alk4N+ICl2-) cannot be iodinating reagents for arenes in solvent-free conditions. Nevertheless, tetraalkylammonium dichloroiodates in sulfuric acid solutions or in the presence of Ag 2SO4 in H2SO4 possess superelectrophilic properties and act as very convenient and efficient iodinating agents for deactivated arenes.

Superactivity and dual reactivity of the system N-iodosuccinimide-H 2SO4 in the iodination of deactivated arenes

Dissolution of N-iodosuccinimide in sulfuric acid gives rise to electrophilic iodine-containing species which are capable of successfully iodinating aromatic compounds with electron-withdrawing substituents in the temperature range from 0 to 20°C. The iodination in sulfuric acid is effected by both protonated N-iodosuccinimide and IOS(O)(OH+)OH intermediate.

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.

Superactive iodination reagent on a base of iodine chloride and silver sulfate

After reaction of ICl and Ag2SO4 in sulfuric acid and separation of resulting AgCl a stable solution is formed, containing very active forms of electrophilic iodine. This solution has a powerful iodination ability with respect to aromatic compounds. Deactivated arenes are iodinated easily and in mild conditions by action of this new reagent in generally good yields of the iodoarenes.

The direct iodination of arenes with chromium(VI) oxide as the oxidant

An easy and cheap laboratory method is presented for the direct mono- and diiodination of a number of activated and deactivated arenes. The main iodination reactions occurred at the temperatures not exceeding 65°C for 0.5-12 h in the anhydrous, strongly acidic liquid system, I2/AcOH/Ac2O/H2SO4, in the presence of prior dissolved CrO3 used as the oxidant. The yields of the pure iodinated products varied from 31% (for 3,5- diiodobenzoic acid) up to 90% (for 4-iodoanisole). So far, benzonitrile and some oxidizable aromatics, e.g. naphthalene, fluorene, xanthene, and thiophene, have been found to be unsuitable for the effective iodination. Nevertheless, this novel, simple method of direct iodination is worthy to be extended to other appropriate aromatics.
