Oxidative Iodination of Aromatic Amides Using Sodium Perborate or Hydrogen Peroxide with Sodium Tungstate†

Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate in the presence of a sodium tungstate catalyst are shown to be cheap oxidants for the iodination of aromatic amides using potassium iodide as the source of the iodine.
