Toluene → 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.5 mL of TIBA/cyclohexane solution (113 g/L) were mixed with 3.2 mL of MAO/toluene solution (Albemarle 30% wt/wt, d=0.92 g/mL, 15.3 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-1 (28.4 mg, 38.3 μmol). The final solution was diluted with 7.7 mL of cyclohexane. Final mixture concentration=100 gTOT/L and 1.165 gmetallocene/L; color=dark red solution.
