Abstract

A new reagent (I2/NaNO2) for the iodination of the aromatic ring of phenols has been discovered. The reaction proceeds at room temperature in 1.5-6 hours. In the presence of this reagent, iodinated compounds are regioselectively formed in significant yields from the corresponding substrates.
