A Simple and Efficient Iodination of Aromatic Compounds Using I2/Choline Chloride/K2S2O8

摘要

A simple and efficient method for the iodination of aromatic compounds has been achieved in the presence of molecular iodine, choline chloride and potassium peroxodisulfate at 65 °C in acetonitrile. The rate of conversion of aromatic compounds into iodoaromatic compounds was promoted by in situ formed choline peroxodisulfate. This protocol provides an efficient access to iodoarenes with operational simplicity, good functional group tolerance and a moderate to good product yield.
