Abstract

Abstract Monosubstituted acetylenes were iodinated to form iodoacetylenes under simple conditions. Reaction of aryl acetylenes with molecular iodine in the presence of 4?? dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) gave the desired products in good to excellent yields. Iodination of aryl acetylenic ketones using K2CO3 as base was also described.
