title: A novel aromatic iodination method, with sodium periodate used as the only iodinating reagent.
abstract: Benzene, halobenzenes and some deactivated arenes readily reacted in anhydrous NaIO4/AcOH/Ac2O/concd. H2SO4 mixtures to afford, after quenching with excess aqueous Na2SO3 solution (a reducing agent), purified iodinated products in 27-88% yields. This novel method of aromatic iodination is simple, fairly effective and environmentally safe.
