Benzyltriethylammonium dichloroiodate/sodium bicarbonate combination as an inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and mild iodinating reagent for anilines.
[reaction: see text]. Monoiodinated anilines were prepared in good to excellent yields by the action of benzyltriethylammonium dichloroiodate on anilines in the presence of sodium bicarbonate and methanol. The iodinating reagent was prepared in an environmentally friendly fashion without the use of organic solvents.
