Markovnikov-type hydroiodination of terminal alkynes with iodine and Ph2P (O) H took place selectively to afford the corresponding internal iodoalkenes in good yields. Combination of (PhO) 2P (O) H and Ph2P (O) OH instead of Ph2P (O) H also provided internal iodoalkenes in excellent yields. This hydroiodination is advantageous in terms of mild conditions, convenient operation, and tolerance to various functional groups. In addition, direct ...
