Electrophilic monoiodination of terminal alkenes
DOI: 10.1039/C3OB27348B, PaperSergiy V. Yemets, Tatyana E. Shubina, Pavel A. Krasutsky
An excess of elemental iodine in DMA enables effective 3/iodanylium-de-hydronation of terminal alkenes with 3-iodopropene derivatives and HI formation within minutes at room temperature. The molar ratio of iodine to substrate was decreased to 1 : 1 when HI formed was oxidized on a platinum anode. The reaction mechanism is studied.
