Aryl iodide are versatile and useful compounds in organic synthesis, mainly for C–C and C– N bonds formation in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki, 1, 2 Heck, Stille and Negishi reactions. 3–5 Some aryl iodides can be employed for the synthesis of pharmaceutical and bioactive compounds, X-ray contrast agents or radioactive labeled markers in radioimmunoassay. 6 The general procedure for their preparation involves ...
