Abstract

Benzylic alcohols are rapidly converted to the corresponding benzylic iodides using combination of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) and potass- ium iodide under solvent-free microwave irradiation conditions. ... Key Words: Benzylic alcohols; Iodides; Microwave; p-Toluenesulfonic acid. ... Benzylic iodides have recently attracted increasing attention as versatile intermediate in organic synthesis.[1,2] Conversion of benzylic alcohols into ... DOI: 10.1081/SCC-120037924 ...
