The synthesis and characterization a new derivatives of 2'-iodo-meta terphenyl from the reaction ofexcess aryl-Grignard and 2, 6- dichloroiodobenzene with quenching of m-terphenyl-2'-magnesiumbromide by iodine is reported. Via the reactions three carbon-carbon bonds are constructed and mterphenylsare obtained in good yields.

An excess of elemental iodine in N,N-dimethylacetamide enables effective 3/iodanylium-de-hydronation of terminal alkenes with 3-iodopropene derivatives and hydrogen iodide formation within minutes at room temperature. The optimal molar ratio of iodine to substrate was decreased to 1 : 1 when hydrogen iodide formed was oxidized on a platinum anode. The electrolytic oxidation recovers iodine as a...

Iodine reacts readily with many proteins and has been used as a group-specific reagent to study the relationship between enzyme and group activity (see, for instance, (1, 2)) (3). Iodoprotein derivatives have also been prepared as electron dense protein crystals for use in x-ray investigations (4). At very low levels of iodination, radioactively labeled iodoproteins have been employed as tracer...

2-(Alkyl-1-yl)-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-ones 5a-n were synthesized via nucleophilic substitution of the methylsulfanyl group of the corresponding 2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-ones 3a-c with suitably substituted secondary amines. The starting 2-thioxo- imidazolidin-4-ones 2a,2b were prepared by condensation of thiohydantoin and benzo[b]-thiophene-3-carbaldehyde or benzofuran-3-carbaldehyde under mi...

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative annulations between phenols and alkenylcarboxylic acids produced a library of benzofuran compounds. Depending on the nature of the substitution of the phenol precursor, either 2,3-dialkylbenzofurans or 2-alkyl-3-methylene-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans can be synthesized with excellent regioselectivity. Reactions between conjugated 5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienoic acids and pheno...

The first example of intramolecular oxyalkynylation of nonactivated alkenes using oxidative Pd chemistry is reported. Both phenol and aromatic or aliphatic acid derivatives could be used under operator-friendly conditions (room temperature, technical solvents, under air). The discovery of the superiority of benziodoxolone-derived hypervalent iodine reagent 3d as an alkyne transfer reagent furth...
