Novel α-iodination of functionalized ketones with iodine mediated by bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) peroxydisulfate

Abstract

α,β-Unsaturated ketones, β-keto esters and uracil derivatives react with iodine in the presence of bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) peroxydisulfate under mild conditions in MeCN at 25 °C to give the corresponding α-iodinated products in good yields.
