Abstract

Under neutral reaction conditions, aromatic ketones were transformed into the corresponding α-iodo ketones in high yields by the combination of copper(II) oxide and iodine. The reaction mechanism showed that copper(II) oxide played multiple roles through random self-sorting.

Key words

aromatic ketones - iodine - α-iodo ketones - multifunctional reagent - self-sorting

The possible reason is that a trace amount of H⁺, which was produced by treatment of iodine with methanol, could initiate the reaction; see:
