✦ Synopsis

A re-investigation of the use of aqueous potassium dichloroiodate (KICl 2 ) as an iodinating agent for aromatic compounds has found the reagent to be more generally applicable than previously known. The reagent has been found to give excellent yields of iodinated heterocyclic compounds, such as isatin, imidazole and pyrazole.
