Bromination and iodination of the aromatic compounds have efficiently been carried out at room temperature and 70 o C, respectively, in short reaction times using orthoperiodic acid/sodium bromide (1:2) and orthoperiodic acid/sodium iodide (1:2) in water to prepare the corresponding halo compounds with excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
