Ionic liquid-induced conversion of methoxymethyl-protected alcohols into nitriles and iodides using [Hmim][NO3]

This Letter reports a one-pot efficient conversion of methoxymethyl-ethers into their corresponding nitriles and iodides using the ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3H-imidazolium nitrate ([Hmim][NO3]) under microwave irradiation. A variety of products were prepared in high yields using this method.

Microwave-promoted, one-pot conversion of alkoxymethylated protected alcohols into their corresponding nitriles, bromides, and iodides using [bmim][InCl4] as a green catalyst

The Lewis acid room temperature ionic liquid, [bmim][InCl4], was found to be an efficient and green catalyst for the highly chemoselective and one-pot conversion of MOM- or EOM-ethers into their corresponding nitriles, bromides, and iodides under microwave irradiation. The procedures are simple, rapid, and high yielding. The catalyst exhibited a remarkable reactivity and is reusable.

Solvent-free conversion of alcohols into iodides with NaI supported on KSF clay

A variety of allylic, benzylic, primary, and secondary saturated alcohols have been converted into the corresponding iodides using NaI supported on KSF clay. Selective conversion of allylic and benzylic alcohols in the presence of primary and secondary saturated alcohols has also been demonstrated. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.
