These compounds are also found as components of many pharmaceutically active agents and used for medical imaging. Due to their importance, a range of transition-metal-catalyzed methods have recently been developed for their efficient preparation. This short review gives an overview of the progress made and highlights the benefits of transition-metal-catalyzed methods over more traditional approaches.1 Introduction2 Halogen-Exchange Reactions3 Copper-Catalyzed Iodination Using Boronic Acids and Esters4 Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution4.1 Gold-Catalyzed Reactions4.2 Indium-, Iron-, and Silver-Catalyzed Reactions5 Iodination via C–H Activation5.1 Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions5.2 Rhodium-, Ruthenium-, and Cobalt-Catalyzed Reactions5.3 Copper-Catalyzed Reactions6 Iododecarboxylation7 Conclusions PB - © Georg Thieme Verlag DO - 10.1055/s-0035-1562439 UR - http://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/abstract/10.1055/s-0035-1562439 ER -
