An efficient, catalytic, aerobic, oxidative iodination of arenes using the H5PV2Mo10O40 polyoxometalate as catalyst.
Iodination of arenes was carried out by reacting 1 equiv of arene substrate with 0.5 equiv of iodine under an oxygen atmosphere with H5PV2Mo10O40 as oxidation catalyst. The synthesis is an inherently waste-free method for the preparation of iodoarenes.
