Abstract

Introduction. – So far, no report has been found in the literature on the in situ generation of the molecular iodine (I2) by the reaction of iodide salts and orthoperiodic acid (H5IO6). Previously, I2 has been used only as a reagent, but in recent years, I2- catalyzed reactions have grown in importance in organic synthesis [1–8]. Molecular iodine (I2) is a versatile catalyst in organic synthesis, but it is highly corrosive, toxic, and sublimable, making its use ...
