One-Pot Procedures for Preparing (Dichloroiodo)arenes from Arenes and Diiodine with Chromium(VI) Oxide as the Oxidant†

摘要

Ten representative (dichloroiodo)arenes, ArICl2, were prepared from the corresponding arenes and diiodine in variable anhydrous mixtures, ArH/I2/CrO3/AcOH/Ac2O/conc. H2SO4, followed by the addition of conc. hydrochloric acid, used as the source of chlorine; ArICl2 are useful in organic synthesis as mild and selective chlorinating and/or oxidizing agents.
