Toluene → 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

21.1 mL of TIBA/isododecane solution (110 g/L) were mixed with 4.5 mL of MAO/toluene solution (Albemarle 30% wt/wt, d=0.92 g/mL, 21.6 mmol MAO) to obtain a MAO/TIBA molar ratio of 1.8:1. The solution was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. Then, 55.3 mg of C-1 were dissolved in the solution. The solution did not show any trace of residual solid. The final solution was diluted with 11.7 mL of isododecane to reach a concentration of 97 gTOT/L and 1.48 gmetallocene/L.
