Abstract

Abstract The direct conversion of olefins to their corresponding iodohydrins is efficient with I−/IO3− assemblies in an aqueous acidic medium. Iodohydrins were obtained in moderately good yields at ambient reaction conditions without employing any metal catalysts. The addition of IOH across the olefin follows the Morkovnikov's rule.
