Abstract

Regioselective I/Zn-exchange reactions were performed on polyiodinated arenes or heterocycles within 20 minutes at 0–25 °C using the bimetallic combination pTol2Zn·2LiOR [R = (CH2)2N(Me)(CH2)2NMe2] in toluene. The resulting diaryl- or diheteroarylzincs reacted well with allylic bromides and acyl chlorides to provide functionalized (hetero)aryl iodides in good yields.
