Abstract

Abstract Direct α-iodination of some ketones using iodine–cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in acetic acid or methanol, gave the corresponding α-iodoketone in high yield. In the case of 2-pentanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, and 2-heptanone in methanol, the regioselective products were obtained.
