SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Treatment of an alkene with a thallium(I) carboxylate and iodine gives the corresponding vic-iodocarboxylate in high yield. The reactions are regiospecific and in conjunction with solvolysis of the products, offer an alternative to the Prévost reaction. Differences in the behaviour of thallium(I) carboxylates and silver carboxylates towards alkenes in the presence of iodine are discussed.
