Arylation of Aromatic Compounds. IV. Iodosobenzene dibenzoates with nitrobenzene and chlorobenzene

Abstract

When nitrobenzene reacts with iodosobenzene dibenzoate both nitrodiphenyls and nitrophenyl benzoates are formed. Isomer ratios are reported and discussed. The reactions of iodosobenzene dibenzoate, di-p-toluate and dianisate with chlorobenzene have been investigated. The relative yields of the various products have been determined.
