Iodination of anilines and phenols with 18-crown-6 supported ICl2

Abstract

A highly crystalline iodinating reagent, {[K·18-C-6]ICl2}n, was synthesized in high yield (93%). The trihalide is supported by an 18-crown-6 macrocycle and forms a coordination polymer in the solid state. This reagent iodinates anilines and phenols efficiently under mild conditions. Controlled mono-iodination with anilines was easily achieved while poly-iodination was observed with phenols.
