Metal-free iodination of arylaldehydes for total synthesis of aristogins A-F and hernandial
ORGANIC & BIOMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY(2024)
Abstract
Iodine is one of the most effective sources for iodination of aromatic compounds; however, its electrophilicity is insufficient for direct iodination. The selection of appropriate environmentally friendly and cost-effective oxidants in combination with iodine for the iodination of aromatic rings, along with its application in the synthesis of natural products, holds significant importance. A highly efficient method utilizing I(iii) as the initiator has been successfully developed for monoiodination of arylaldehydes. The method demonstrates good compatibility with a wide range of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, resulting in moderate to excellent yields, without the need for any toxic, volatile or explosive reagents. The synthesis of seven natural products, namely aristogins A-F and hernandial, was achieved through this iodination followed by Ullmann-type coupling.
