Abstract

A wide range of both secondary and tertiary ortho-iodobenzyl alcohols was synthesized via addition of ortho-iodophenyl ­Grignard reagents to aldehydes and ketones. Significant improvements in terms of yields were observed with ketones upon addition of CeCl3. The potential application of the target compounds as precursors for novel electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents based on hyper-valent iodine derivatives was demonstrated.

Key words

addition reactions - Grignard reactions - organometallic reagents - benzyl alcohols - hypervalent iodine compounds
