The majority of alkynyl(aryl)iodonium salts reported in the literature are derived from iodobenzene. This article describes the effects of varying this iodoarene building block on the synthesis, reactivity and stability of these salts. Two procedures...

Reactions of tertiary propargyl alcohols with sodium halides under oxidative conditions (2014)
Journal Article

The study of the reactions of tertiary propargyl alcohols with sodium halides under oxidative conditions is presented. With sodium iodide, α-iodoenones were formed, however, with sodium bromide or chloride the α-haloenones were only formed in low yie...
