A mild and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of alkyl and alkenyl iodides from alkenes and alkynes using polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and iodine in chloroform at room temperature. The reagent system generates hydrogen iodide which regioselectively adds to the alkenes and alkynes. |
