Iodination of Alcohols Under Microwave Irradiation Using KI in the Presence of a Catalytic Amount of Ionic Liquid Triethylamoniom Hydrogensulfate()

Abstract

The iodination of alcohols with KI in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamoniom hydrogensulfate () as a novel and inexpensive ionic liquid under microwave irradiation has been investigated.

Keywords:

• Acidic ionic liquid
• alkyl iodide
• iodination of alcohols
• KI
• triethylamoniom hydrogensulfate

Notes

^a Yields refer to pure isolated products and were characterized by comparison of their physical and spectral data (IR, ¹H NMR) with authentic samples.

^b Power was 100 W.

^a The progress of the reaction was determined by GC and TLC analysis.
