Reaction of I(collidine)+ 2 ClO- 4 with unsaturated alcohols and carboxylic acids in dichloromethane at ambient temperature has afforded three- to seven-membered-ring iodoethers and four- to seven-membered-ring iodolactones, respectively, in moderate yields and generally with high regioselectivity. The reaction is of particular utility for synthesis of 2-(1-iodoalkyl)oxiranes and -oxetanes.
