Gas-Chromatographic identifi cation of products formed in iodination of methyl phenols by retention indices

Iodination reaction followed by conversion of iodine-substituted methylphenols to the corresponding trifl uoroacetates was suggested for improving the sensitivity of the gas-chromatographic determination of phenol and its methyl-substituted derivatives (al isomers of mono- and diethylphenols, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-, and 3,4,5-trimethylphenols) in aqueous media. Acylation products of iodo methylphenols (104 compounds) were identifi ed by linear-logarithmic retention indices on a standard nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane stationary phase, and the pattern of their variation with the number and nature of substituents were characterized. A procedure for identifi cation of methyl-substituted phenols in water in their gas-chromatographic determination with an electron-capture detector was developed. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2012.

Highly selective iodination of phenols using potassium iodide and benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate

An easy and selective method for monoiodination of phenols using potassium iodide in the presence of benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxymonosulfate is presented. The reactions have been carried out in acetonitrile to afford the corresponding iodophenols in
