Abstract

It was found that a mixture of molecular iodine and 4-iodotoluene difluoride are useful to generate in situ the couple 'IF' that was able to add in a Markovnikov fashion and with prevalent anti-stereoselectivity to various alkenes and alkynes. ... A mixture of molecular iodine and 4-iodotoluene difluoride generated in situ the couple 'IF' able to add in a Markovnikov fashion to various alkenes and alkynes. ... In a preliminary experiment, cheaper sodium iodide was selected as a ...
