Toluene → 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

13 mL of TIBA/isododecane solution (90 g/L) were mixed with 2.5 mL of MAO/toluene solution (Albemarle 30% wt/wt, d=0.928 g/mL, 11.8 mmol MAO) to obtain a MAO/TIBA molar ratio of 2:1. The solution was stirred for 1 h at room temperature and transferred into a 50 mL Schlenk flask containing C-2 (24.2 mg, 29.5 μmol). The final solution was diluted with 22.1 mL of cyclohexane to form a dark orange/red solution after overnight stirring at room temperature (final concentration=50 gTOT/L and 0.645 gmetallocene/L).
