Iodine-catalyzed 1,4-addition of 2-(trimethylsilyloxy)furan to α,β-unsaturated ketones: a facile synthesis of γ-butenolides

Amidation of Alcohols with Nitriles under Solvent-free Conditions Using Molecular Iodine as a Catalyst

“…In the present study, iodine was investigated as a catalyst for the reaction of alcohols with nitriles. Recently, iodine has been investigated as a potential efficient catalyst in several organic reactions because it has low toxicity [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . In this study, we also investigated solvent-free conditions, from the viewpoint of green chemistry .…”

Synthesis of Cinnamyl Ethers from .ALPHA.-Vinylbenzyl Alcohol Using Iodine as Catalyst

“…Therefore, in this study, we investigated the synthesis of cinnamyl ethers from α-vinylbenzyl alcohol in one step without the isolation of cinnamyl alcohol using iodine as a catalyst. Iodine is easy to handle and has low toxicity, and it has been found to be an efficient catalyst in several organic reactions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . We previously reported iodine to be an effi cient catalyst in the intramolecular etherifi cation of 1,3-diols 17 .…”

HIO3/KI: A new combination reagent for iodination of aromatic amines and trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols through in situ generation of iodine under mild conditions

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Although molecular iodine is a versatile catalyst in organic synthesis, it is highly corrosive, toxic and sublimable, making its use somewhat unattractive and also there are some environmental hazards with respect to its handling. In order to overcome these disadvantages with molecular iodine, an attempt to introduce molecular iodine in situ in the reaction mixture seems to be practically useful.…”
