Toluene → 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.5 mL of TIBA/isododecane solution (110 g/L) were mixed with 2.7 mL of MAO/toluene solution (Albemarle 30% wt/wt, d=0.92 g/mL, 12.8 mmol MAO) to obtain a MAO/TIBA molar ratio of 2.4:1. The solution was stirred for 60 minutes at room temperature and transferred into a 50 mL Schlenk flask containing A-1 (33 mg, 39.8 μmol). The resulting dark red mixture was diluted with 5.1 mL of toluene. The color of the mixture resulted slightly lighter after one week, but still contained some suspension. Concentration of the final solution: 105 gTOT/L and 1.9 gmetallocene/L.
