Organic Iodine(I, III, and V) Chemistry: 10 Years of Development at the Medical University of Warsaw, Poland

This review reports some novel (or considerably improved) methods for the synthesis of aromatic iodides, (dichloroiodo)arenes, (diacetoxyiodo)arenes, iodylarenes and diaryliodonium salts, as well as some facile, oxidative anion metatheses in crude diaryliodonium halides and, for comparison, potassium halides. All these new results were obtained in our laboratory over the past decade (1990-2000). A full list of our papers dealing with the organic iodine(I, III and V) chemistry, covering exlusively the aromatic derivatives, is also provided.
