Ar. Li et Qy. Chen, A NOVEL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE-INITIATED REACTION OF DIFLUORODIIODOMETHANEWITH ALKYNES, Chinese journal of chemistry, 15(2), 1997, pp. 154-159
The reaction of difluorodiiodomethane with alkynes (4a-e) in the prese
nce of hydrogen peroxide afforded the corresponding beta-iodo-alpha, b
eta-unsaturated carboxylic acids. When propargylic alcohol was used as
the substrate, beta-iodo-alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-butyrolactone (
5F) was produced. The mechanism of the reaction was suggested.
