Description

[Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene acts as a reagent in Pummerer-like reactions. It plays an important role in the direct alfa-hydroxylation of ketones under acidic conditions. It is involved in the cyclization of styryl amines to N-alkyl or N-aryl indoles. It serves as a reagent for the chemoselective deprotection of dimethoxybenzyl ethers and tosyloxylation of anilides. Further, it is used in the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the oxidation of N-acylhydrazones. In addition to this, it is employed in the Hofmann rearrangement for the conversion of cyclobutanecarboxamide to cyclobutylamine hydrochloride.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
