A Green protocol for the bromination and iodination of the aromatic compounds using H 5IO 6/NaBr and H 5IO 6/NaI in the water

Abstract

Bromination and iodination of the aromatic compounds have efficiently been carried out at room temperature and 70 °C, respectively, in short reaction times using orthoperiodic acid/sodium bromide (1:2) and orthoperiodic acid/sodium iodide (1:2) in water to prepare the corresponding halo compounds with excellent yields.
