Iodine products

Manufacture and Processing. The industry related to iodine production began a few years after the discovery of the element by Courtois in 1811. The production processes are based on the raw materials containing iodine seaweeds, mineral deposits, and oh-weh or natural gas brines.

Not considering the former USSR, world production of iodine was ca 13,500 metric tons in 1992. Japan provided about 45% of the world total, compared to 44% from Chile and 11% from the United States. An annual output of 2300 t from 1976 to 1979 was estimated by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (66) but was revised to 2000 tons in 1981. No official data are available for the former USSR where iodine production is reported to be produced from iodine—bromine brines. Two areas have been mentioned the Neftechalinki field in the Slavianski-Triotskoe area near the Black Sea, and a plant in the Baku area in Azerbaidzhan on the Caspian Sea where ca 1400 metric tons was estimated for 1990 production. 

Whereas these preparations do not possess the high bacteriostatic activity of quaternary ammonium germicides, they have the alternate advantage of being rapidly functional in acid solution. In comparative experiments of several different disinfectants, the acid—anionic killed bacteria at lower concentration than five other disinfectants. Only sodium hypochlorite and an iodine product were effective at higher dilution than the acid—anionic. By the AO AC use dilution test, the acid—anionic killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 225 ppm. Salmonella choleraesuis at 175 ppm, and Staphylococcus aureus at 325 ppm (172). 

In a similar way, 5-O-acetylthymidine was converted into the 3-deoxy-3-iodo derivative 72 in 55% yield. In this case, the replacement of the hydroxyl group by iodine was presumed to have taken place by retention of the configuration at C-3. The first intermediate in the reaction was proposed to be the phosphonate (70) which rapidly collapses to an O-3-cyclonucleoside (71) and the latter is subsequently attacked by iodide ion to give the product 72. It was also observed (106) that treatment of nucleosides containing a cis vicinal diol grouping such as 5-0-acetyluridine with triphenylphosphite methiodide failed to provide iodinated products but gave phosphonate derivatives instead. 

No significant interactions have been reported when tiie expectorants are used as directed. The exception is iodine products. Lithium and other antithyroid drug may potentiate the hypotliyroid effects of these drug if used concurrently with iodine products. When potassium-containing medications and potassium-sparing diuretics are administered with iodine products, the patient may experience hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmias, or cardiac arrest. Thyroid function tests may also be altered by iodine... 

There is an additive bone marrow depression when methimazole or propylthiouracil is administered with otiier bone marrow depressants, such as the antineo-plastic drugs, or witii radiation therapy. When methimazole is administered with digitalis, there is an increased effectiveness of the digitalis and increased risk of toxicity. There is an additive effect of propylthiouracil when the drug is administered with lithium, potassium iodide, or sodium iodide When iodine products are administered with litiiium products, synergistic hypotiiyroid activity is likely to occur. 

The functionalization of zinc porphyrin complexes has been studied with respect to the variation in properties. The structure and photophysics of octafluorotetraphenylporphyrin zinc complexes were studied.762 Octabromoporphyrin zinc complexes have been synthesized and the effects on the 11 NMR and redox potential of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrin were observed.763 The chiral nonplanar porphyrin zinc 3,7,8,12,13,17,18-heptabromo-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin was synthesized and characterized.764 X-ray structures for cation radical zinc 5,10,15,20-tetra(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin and the iodinated product that results from reaction with iodine and silver(I) have been reported.765 Molecular mechanics calculations, X-ray structures, and resonance Raman spectroscopy compared the distortion due to zinc and other metal incorporation into meso dialkyl-substituted porphyrins. Zinc disfavors ruffling over doming with the total amount of nonplanar distortion reduced relative to smaller metals.766 Resonance Raman spectroscopy has also been used to study the lowest-energy triplet state of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin.767... 

Fig. 1.97.1. Schema of the Coulometer MeBzelle DL 36 for measurement of residual moisture content (RM) after Karl Fischer. In the titration cell (1) iodine is electrolytically produced (3) from an iodine-containing analyt (2). Water in the titration cell reacts with the iodine. When the water is used up, a small excess of iodine is produced, which is detected by special electrodes, which leads to iodine production being stopped. The amount of water in the cell can be calculated from the reading of the coulometer, and the amount of electrical charge needed. The solids are introduced into the cell either by a lock, or the water is desorbed in an oven and carried by a gas stream into the cell. 10 pg in a sample can be detected with an accuracy of reading of 0.1 pg (KF Coulometer DL36, Mettler-Toledo AG, CH-8603 Schwerzenbach, Switzerland).

Treating imidazole with iodine in an NaOH solution afforded the complete ring iodination product, 2,4,5-triiodoimidazole. 4-Iodoimidazole was then produced in 75% yield upon selective reductive deiodination, [5]. The same procedure converted 2-methylimidazole and 1-methylimidazole to 4(5)-iodo-2-methylimidazole [6] and 4(5)-bromo-l-methylimidazole [7], respectively.

Iodocarbonyls are excellent substrates for atom transfer cyclization, as shown by examples from our recent work in Scheme 29.19-129 When two carbonyl (or cyano) groups are present, bromides can also serve as radical precursors. Photolysis with 10% ditin usually provides excellent yields of kinetic products at high concentration, and alkene substituents often dictate the regioselectivity. The y-iodo ester products are particularly versatile for subsequent transformations, which can often be conducted in situ. Although tertiary iodine products sometimes go on to give lactones or alkenes, primary and secondary iodides can often be isolated if desired. The last example is particularly noteworthy the kinetic product from the cyclization presented in Scheme 27 is trapped, because bromine atom transfer is much more rapid that reverse cyclization. 

The mechanism by which a, /j-unsaturated ketones (see Scheme 16), jS-keto esters, and uracil derivatives react with iodine in the presence of bis(tctra-w-butylammonium) peroxydisulfate (318) in acetonitrile to give the appropriate iodinated products in good yields is unclear.289 The mechanism may involve the cleavage of (318) to give an n-butylammonium sulfate radical, which can react to fonn a cationic iodine radical and sulfate anion the substrate then reacts with the iodine radical to form an iodine-bridged intermediate.

Inspection of Table II shows that a variety of iodine products are formed with the iodine in several oxidation states. Thus fixation materials with iodine as complexed elemental iodine, iodide, and iodate, must be evaluated, and the solid fixation matrix selected must be able to accept a variety of materials.

Further applications of the reagent with nuclesosides have been examined.170 An interesting observation in the iodination of S -O-tritylthymidine was that a small amount of the 3, 5 -dideoxy-3, 5 -diiodo species was obtained in addition to the expected preponderance of the C-3 iodinated product. Presumably, HI produced during the course of the reaction effected the removal of the acid-sensitive trityl ether.
