General description

Iodobenzene, also known as phenyl iodide, is commonly used as an arylating agent in various cross-coupling reactions.

Application

Iodobenzene is used in various C-C coupling reactions. It can be used in the preparation of iodobenzene dichloride, which is employed as an oxidant to oxidize alcohols to carbonyl compounds and as a chlorinating agent.

Palladium-catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aromatic halides can be performed in alcohol solutions without any auxiliary reducing reagents. Pd(dppf)Cl(2) [dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] has been shown as the most effective catalyst among the palladium catalysts screened for the model reductive homocoupling of
