Abstract
Hexamethylene bis(N-methylimidazolium) bis(dichloroiodate) (HMBMIBDCI), an ionic liquid iodinating reagent, have been prepared and characterized. Its ability to perform iodination reactions with a variety of substrates has been explored. In general, iodination reactions of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines proceed with good yields in the absence of solvent. Reactions of terminal alkynes in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.O] undec-7-ene and tetrahydrofuran have been investigated as well.
