Abstract
Benzene derivatives bearing at least one bulky alkyl group (i-Pr or t-Bu) were selectively and effectively iodinated using elemental iodine activated by Selectfluor. Up to three iodine atoms were progressively introduced at the most electron-rich and sterically less hindered position on the benzene ring.
