The novel reaction system comprising air/NH4NO3(cat.)/I-2/H2SO4(cat.) is introduced as a simple, safe, cheap, efficient, and regioselective mediator for direct aerobic oxidative a-iodination of aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and cycloallcyl methyl ketones. The reaction system enabled the moderate to quantitative regioselective iodination of a large range of different methyl ketone derivatives including those bearing oxidizable heteroatom (S, N) substituents. Several activated aromatic compounds were also efficiently and selectively iodinated. The practical applicability of the presented reaction system was shown on 20 mmol scale under ambient pressure and 100% conversion of substrate was achieved. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
