[Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene, 97%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
[Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene acts as a reagent in Pummerer-like reactions. It plays an important role in the direct alfa-hydroxylation of ketones under acidic conditions. It is involved in the cyclization of styryl amines to N-alkyl or N-aryl indoles. It serves as a reagent for the chemoselective deprotection of dimethoxybenzyl ethers and tosyloxylation of anilides. Further, it is used in the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the oxidation of N-acylhydrazones. In addition to this, it is employed in the Hofmann rearrangement for the conversion of cyclobutanecarboxamide to cyclobutylamine hydrochloride.
