Deskripsi

<p>Remarkably effective iodination of reactive aromatics carried out using iodine and iodic acid in 2-methoxyethanol as an efficient and alternative reaction medium. The comparison has been made by carrying out iodination reaction in acetic acid and ethanol. The 2-methoxyethanol is found to be excellent reaction solvent in terms of clean reaction conditions, short reaction time giving quantitative yields of product and no need of further purification<em>.</em></p>
