Abstract

Aryl iodides are important synthetic intermediates that can be transformed into tritium labelled compounds by metal-mediated hydrodehalogenation and also react in a number of important synthetic transformations. We present ICl/In (OTf) 3 as a new reagent combination for mild iodination, suitable for acid-sensitive substrates such as carbohydrates.
