Abstract
A comparative study of 3-methoxyaryne precursors -revealed 2-iodo-3-methoxyphenyl triflate as the most effective in nonpolar solvent. Use of Hoppe’s N-isopropyl carbamate allows for the systematic preparation of a variety of 2-iodophenyl triflates via a -directed ORTHO-lithiation-iodination-decarbamation sequence. These steps are possible without isolation of the intermediate -iodophenyl carbamates.
