Abstract

2-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) has been shown to react with alkyl halides in the presence of tetraethyl ammonium bromide to give 2-iodobenzoate esters. Most of the monohalides and dihalides reacted easily with moderate to good yields. The 2-iodobenzoate esters containing other functional groups can offer further synthetic uses. The 2-iodobenzoic acid can be recycled easily and oxidised to IBX again.
