Catalytic Asymmetric Iodoesterification of Simple Alkenes

Catalytic asymmetric iodoesterification of simple alkenes was achieved using a dinuclear zinc-3,3′-(R,S,S)-bis(aminoimino)binaphthoxide (di-Zn) complex. For iodoesterification using p-methoxybenzoic acid, the N-iodonaphthalenimide (NIN)-I2 system was effective for producing iodoesters in a highly enantioselective manner. The synthetic utility of chiral iodo-p-methoxybenzoates was also demonstrated. The quartet of metal ionic bond, hydrogen bond, halogen bond, and π-π stacking is harmonized on the single reaction sphere of di-Zn catalyst for enabling the highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric iodoesterification of simple alkenes for the first time.

Iodine Monoacetate for Efficient Oxyiodinations of Alkenes and Alkynes

A novel and inexpensive, environmentally friendly method for the preparation of iodine monoacetate is presented using iodine and Oxone in acetic acid/acetic anhydride. The reagent is used in a highly efficient approach for the regio- and diastereoselective iodo-acetoxylation of alkenes and alkynes in a simple one-pot process.

Synthesis of α-iodoacetates from alkenes by cadmium acetate catalysed Woodward's reaction

Alkenes on treatment with iodine and cadmium acetate in acetic acid give α-iodoacetates in high yields. The reaction is facile and α-iodoacetates are obtained from both acyclic and cyclic alkenes within 5-30 min.
