Abstract
Anhydrous hydrogen iodide preparated directly from molecular hydrogen and iodine using a rhodium catalyst is highly active in the transformations of alkenes, phenyl aldehydes, alcohols, and cyclic ethers to the corresponding iodoalkanes. Therefore, the present methodology offers a practical method for the preparation of various iodoalkanes in excellent atom economy.
