Iodination aromatic

In the presence of halogen Lewis acids, such as metal haUdes or iodine, aromatic hydrocarbons are halogenated on the ring (24). 

Most contrast agents elicit nephrotoxicity because they are primarily excreted by the kidneys. However, when administered in small doses, they constitute a rich source of GFR markers. The two major classes of contrast agents that are finding clinical utility as GFR markers are iodinated aromatic compounds and metal complexes. lodinated aromatics such as iohexol and iothalamate (Fig. 13) are commonly used as contrast agents for computed tomography (GT). They also have pharmacokinetics similar to inulin and hence are useful indicators of renal status [215]. The iodinated molecules used for GFR measurements consist of a triiodo-benzene core and hydrophilic groups to enhance solubility in aqueous medium. 

The presence of iodine in compounds facilitates their detection and quantification. Thus, the elimination of iodinated aromatics can be measured in blood... 

Labeling of iodinated aromatics with radioactive or has proved to be a valuable approach to measure GFR in nuclear medicine. Prominent among these is sodium iothalamate, which is specifically marketed in the US for GFR measurement by the name Glofil . Studies have shown that the clearance of this marker by the glomeruli is reproducible, simple, reliable and accurate, especially in children and those with advanced renal diseases [234]. This marker can also be administered by subcutaneous infusion to obtain GFR values without the need for urine collection [235]. Since very low doses (nanomolar scale) of radioactive aromatics are administered, monitoring of renal function may be achieved without disruption of normal physiologic functions. Concerns over radioactivity and associated handling costs may prevent the use of these compounds for routine GFR measurements. 

Aryl iodidesThe reagent iodinates aromatic compounds at 25° in reasonable yields (50-85%). 

In acidic media, IPy2BF4 iodinates aromatics at room temperature to furnish mono-iodination products with high yields and regioselectivity354. Anisole is para-iodinated in quantitative yield in the presence of HBF4355 and benzoic acid is raeta-iodinated with 89% yield in triflic acid356. 

Gradient-forming materials which provide the densities required for the separation of subcellular particles include salts of alkali metals (e.g. caesium and rubidium chloride), small neutral hydrophilic organic molecules (e.g. sucrose), hydrophilic macromolecules (e.g. proteins and polysaccharides), and a number of miscellaneous compounds more recently introduced and not included in the above group, such as colloidal silica (e.g. Percoll) and non-ionic iodinated aromatic compounds (e.g. Metrizamide, Nycodenz and Renograffin). 

For direct introduction of iodine into the nucleus of aromatic hydrocarbons, usually only the most energetic of the methods mentioned on page 152 are useful. Iodination by iodine and HN03 (d 1.5)410 is strongly exothermic and useful for benzene and alkylbenzenes, but phenols and nitrocompounds are formed as by-products the phenols can be removed by shaking the crude product with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and the nitro compounds by reduction of the crude product with iron filings and hydrochloric acid then the crude solution is made acid to Congo Red and the iodinated aromatic compound is distilled off in steam. 

Mention may be made of the Suzuki coupling of aryl halides and arylboronic acids. In earlier days, TPPMS could be used to convert the brominated or iodinated aromatics nowadays, cheaper chlorinated aromatics and catalysts based on Pd/TPPTS are used in an aqueous procedure on a commercial scale [Eq. (2)] [5]. 

This reaction can be used to prepare brominated or iodinated aromatic compounds or dihaloalkanes the latter is produced from the mixture of metal halide and halogen with alkenes. " ... 

Chlorine monofluoride (which is commercially available) acts as a powerful fluorinating and oxidizing agent (e.g. reaction 17.22) oxidative addition to SF4 was shown in Figure 16.13. It may behave as a fluoride donor (equation 17.23) or as a fluoride acceptor (equation 17.24). The structures of [C12F] (17.9) and [C1F2] (17.10) can be rationalized using the VSEPR model. Iodine monochloride and monobromide are less reactive than CIF, but of importance is the fact that, in polar solvents, ICl is a source of I" " and iodinates aromatic compounds.

The mechanisms shown in Figures 7.1 and 7.2 require the addition of an electron acceptor compoimd (A). Diaryliodonium salts (IV) have been very popular in this field [CRI 84, HAU 00b, STR 03]. Electron transfer results in reduction of this compound are shown in equation [7.1]. The iodyl radical formed decomposes quickly and releases highly reactive initiating aryl radicals. The iodyl radical must possess a very short lifetime indicating the fast decomposition into the iodine aromat and ph. Firrther onium salts (i.e. triarylsulfonium salts V) alternatively decompose after acceptance of an electron resulting in formation of the phenyl radieal and diaryl thioether as shown in equation [7.2]. 

Elements with very low electronegativity (alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, such as Na, Ca and Mg) and elements with high electronegativity (halogens such as Cl and I) occur mainly as free ions in biological materials, and are preferably involved in electrostatic interactions. However, even these elements can form less soluble compounds (calcium oxalate), covalent compounds (hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine are iodinated aromatic amino acids, see Section 2.2.1.2.5) or complex compounds (chlorides as Hgands and some metal ions as central atoms). A ligand is an entity (atom, ion or molecule), which can act as an electron pair acceptor to create a coordinate covalent bond with the central ion. Cd and Hg also tend to form covalent compounds. 

Recently, Jakoby et al. [64,65] reported a synthesis of phosphonated polyphenylsulfone. This group has focused their efforts on two straightforward reactions for the synthesis of aryl phosphonic acids from brominated or iodinated aromatic starting materials. 

At the time this work was published, we were engaged in exploratory research aimed at using iodinated aromatic compounds as monomers for high-performance polymers. Several reports had disclosed the preparation of a variety of regiospecifically bisiodinated aromatic systems (5). Model studies conducted in our laboratories between iodobenzene, aniline and CO indicated that, under appropriate conditions, amide formation was fast, clean, and quantitative (6).
