Abstract

Treatment of an alkyne with iodine monochloride and sodium iodide at room temperature results in the formation of the thermodynamic (E [])-diiodoalkene. The corresponding (Z [])- diiodoalkene can also be produced, by treatment of the alkyne with iodine monochloride at− 78° C in the presence of tetraethylammonium iodide.
