Hi,
I know that this compund exist and it can by made by the reaction of sodium nitrite or silver nitrite with iodine but If it is easy to make I-Cl by
combining iodine with chlorine gas it should be also possible to synthesise I-NO2 by combining NO2 gas with elemental iodine. That compund would be
very strong electrophile and(I think) very good iodinating agent in electrophilic aromatic substitution. What do you think? |
