Abstract

[figure: see text] Organotelluride 1 is a water-soluble catalyst for the oxidation of iodide with hydrogen peroxide in pH 6 phosphate buffer. In two-phase systems, organic substrates are efficiently iodinated using 0.8 mol % of catalyst. Water-soluble substrates are iodinated without an organic cosolvent.
