Imidazoles iodination

In a related procedure, chlorodiphenylphosphine, imidazole, iodine, and zinc cause reductive elimination of diols.298 (3-Iodophosphinate esters can be shown to be intermediates in some cases. 

A reagent system consisting of triphenylphosphine/imidazole/iodine in toluene has proven useful for the conversion of trans- 1,2-diols (547) into the corresponding alkenes (549 Scheme 120) (79S469). The imidazole probably forms a solvated complex (548) with triphenylphosphine and iodine. Methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-a-D-glucopyranoside was transformed into 2,3-dideoxyhex-2-enopyranoside in 75% yield. 

Treatment of 1,4,5,6-tetra-O-benzyl-myo-inositol with TPP-imidazole-iodine gives, selectively, the iodide 105 which was converted into the thio-derivative 106 by standard chemical transformations.

Tire condensation method (Section II,A,1) applied for 1,2,4-thiadia-zolium salts and phenylsubstituted imidazoles leads to the thia-tetraazaful-valenes 91 and 92 (70TL481). Moreover, 2,4,5-tris(ethylsulfanyl)imida-zolium chloride was converted to the unsymmetrical heterofulvalene 93 by a self-condensation reaction in the presence of potassium carbonate and elemental iodine (85PS223) (Scheme 37). 

The 1-bromo derivatives were formed in 85-90% yields when 2-methyl (or -phenyl) - 4H - imidazo [ 2,1 - c ] [ 1,4] benzoxa (or - benzthia) zines were treated with bromine or NBS in acetic acid. Iodination with NIS or iodine monochloride occurred at C-I in the imidazole ring in 75-86% yields, but NCS failed to react (92JOC2737). 

Grimison and Ridd225 also suggested the preformation of a positive iodinating species as a means of explaining the results obtained in the iodination by iodine in aqueous potassium iodide, of imidazole at 25 °C. The kinetics of this reaction follow equation (121)... 

The mechanism of the reaction has not been eiuddated. Presumably iodine eliminates the imidazole ring from N-substituted imidazole derivatives such as clotrimazole, and this then couples with diazotized sulfanilic acid to yield an azo dye. 

Halogenation of 106 with triphenylphosphine, iodine, and imidazole provided the iodo derivative 109. On treatment with lithium aluminum hydride, 109 was converted into two endocyclic alkenes, 110 and di-O-isopro-pylidenecyclohexanetetrol, in the ratio of 2 1. Oxidation of 110 with dimethyl sulfoxide - oxalyl chloride afforded the enone 111.1,4-Addition of ethyl 2-lithio-l,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate provided compound 112. Reduction of 112 with lithium aluminum hydride, and shortening of the side-chain, gave compound 113, which was converted into 114 by deprotection. ... 

Several modifications of procedures based on halophosphonium ion have been developed. Triphenylphosphine and imidazole in combination with iodine or bromine gives good conversion of alcohols to iodides or bromides.22 An even more reactive system consists of chlorodiphenylphosphine, imidazole, and the halogen,23 and has the further advantage that the resulting phosphorus by-product diphenylphosphinic acid, can be extracted with base during product workup. 

Iodination reagents combined with aryl phosphines and imidazole can also effect reductive conversion of diols to alkenes. One such combination is 2,4,5-triiodoimidazole, imidazole, and ttiphenylphosphine.297 These reagent combinations... 

Trisubstituted imidazoles have been synthesized from 1,2-diketones or a-hydroxyketones with ammonium acetate in very short reaction times with excellent yields in the presence of l,l,3,3-VAr V ,(V -tetramethylguanidinium trifluoroacetate as an ionic liquid <06SC65>.
