a-iodination
Im thinking of a-iodination via CuO/I2/Methanol method,
the patent says eq. molar amaunts of I2 to Ketone and CuO shoud be used,
as the CuO will reoxidize the formed HI back into I2, woundnt 0,5 I2 to 1 mole CuO to be the optimal reaction conditions, as i dont understand how
they dont get diiodinated product using such big quantities Iodine, and as i understand the reaction speed can be determined by the color change of
the coper dioxide to the red/brown coper oxide and water and I2 will be reaction byproducts, im thinkink how to remove the iodine to have a clean
ketone without to interfere with the a-iodine atom.

https://sci-hub.tw/10.1055/s-2007-983880,
they state all from 1-0.7 eq I2 works in 99% yields too but above 0.7 eq they tell its reducing the yield, since equimolar HI to the iodine consumed
will be produced and latter it will be catalyzed back to I2, so i dont see the reason to even use more than 0.5 eq. I2 but i dont have TLC nor any
analytical machine to see how the reaction is going.

What about refluxing I2,hno3 and the ketone? Will it work the same as it will on a benzene ring or will it just result in crap?

hmm maybe you are confused with aromatic iodination, the proposed mechanism here is a-iodination of the carbon chain of a ketone
