“…Many oxidizing agents have been considered for formation of I + like species either in situ or as stable isolable intermediates. Some examples of iodinating agents are: I2/CuBr2 [6], CsI3 [7], KF/I2 [8], I2/ HIO3/grinding [9], I2/Bi(NO3)3•5H2O-BiCl3 [10], I2/TMOF [11], NIS/In(OTf)3 [12], I2/silver nitrate [13], NIS/CF3CO2H [14], N-iodosaccharin [15], hydroxyl radicals/nanocrystalline CeO2/I2 [16], N-chlorosuccinimide and sodium iodide [17]. Recent methods for iodination of aromatic compounds includes the reactions catalyzed by NIS/Pd(OAc)2 [18] [19], I 2 /LiOtBu/1,10-phenanthroline [6], NIS/Ball milling [20], I 2 /Pd(OAc) 2 /CsOAc/NaHCO 3 [21].…”
