Abstract

Abstract Molecular iodine exhaustively iodinates aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of potassium peroxodisulfate, concentrated sulfuric acid, and trifluoroacetic acid to give the periodinated aromatic compounds. Benzene and other moderately activated and deactivated arenes are readily converted into the corresponding periodinated derivatives in good to high yields.
