Toluene → 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

14.5 mL of TIBA/isododecane solution (110 g/L) were mixed with 3.4 mL of MAO/toluene solution (Albemarle 30% wt/wt, d=0.928 g/mL, 16.1 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 A-1 (24.2 mg, 30 μmol). The resulting mixture was diluted with 18.6 mL of isododecane to give a bright orange solution. Final concentration: 70 gTOT/L and 0.663 gmetallocene/L.
