Vk. Chaikovskii et al., Direct iodination of 3-and 4-nitropyrazoles with a reagent based on iodinemonochloride and silver sulfate, RUSS CHEM B, 49(8), 2000, pp. 1475-1477
The reagent obtained from iodine monochloride and silver sulfate in sulfuri
c acid easily iodinates 1-methyl-3-nitropyrazole under mild conditions to g
ive 4-iodo or 4,5-diiodo derivatives. 1-Methyl-4-nitropyrazole was also dir
ectly iodinated with this reagent for the first time.
