Alkyl iodides from argox rxn in situ, temp question
As you saw in my first post, contaminated HBr with Br2, it was a mistake. Since I want alkyl halides, I should have done smaller batches each with the
corresponding alcohol in each. We all have brain farts, I guess I was preparing for halogenating alcohols I was planning on running.
In this post I specifically want to know how to deal with alkylating an iodine atom, all in one pot.
The question I have because I don't want HI lying around (due to its legal status) and even though this is questionable, I'm wondering when do I add
the alcohol (say 2-propanol), Argox got some HI under or around 150℃ then again at 400℃.
To my understanding, an alcohol or alkylated halide at 400℃ is a problem.
It sounds like a nice relatively one sided protocol, I will be using it for other chlorine and bromine halogenations but the high temps here worry me.
Would using more H3PO4 be a way around hitting 400℃?
In this case, if I choose the one pot method, any advice or precautions. Otherwise, I think I'm stuff doing the two step method and immediately
halogenationing the alcohol.
I've done many alkylating halogenations, but avoided anything with HI.
Also I have read quite a few reports on this site, some parents, but may have missed something.
