Sonochemistry in Organic Synthesis: Synthesis of Alkynyl Iodonium Salts
Presented at the First Annual, IU Northwest College of Arts and Sciences Research Conference, November 2004

Ultrasound has been used recently and effectively in many organic reactions, diminishing the
reaction times and increasing the yields. Sometimes reaction products that are not accessible by conventional methods are obtained this way. Alkynyliodonium salts have emerged as valuable reagents for organic synthesis in recent years. In this research project, preparations of alkynyl iodonium salts using ultrasound are being studied. In particular, the effect of amplitude, time, and method of synthesis using HMIB and HTIB with different alkynes will be discussed.

Sonochemistry in Organic Synthesis: Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Alkynyl Iodonium Salts
Presented at the Second Annual, IU Northwest College of Arts and Sciences Research Conference, November, 2005

Ultrasound has been used recently and effectively in many organic reactions. The
use of this technique has diminished reaction times and has increased product
yields. Reaction products that are not accessible by conventional methods can be
obtained using sonochemistry. Alkynyl iodonium salts have emerged as valuable
reagents for organic synthesis in recent years. In this research project, the reaction
of these iodonium salts with different nucleophiles using ultrasound is examined.
In particular, reactions of the alkynyl iodonium salts using sonochemistry with
diethylmalonate, alkynide, and selenide ions will be discussed.

Sonochemistry in Organic Synthesis: Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions of Alkynyl Iodonium Salts
Presented at the Thirda Annual IU Northwest College of Arts and Sciences Research Conference, November 2006

Ultrasound has been used recently and effectively in various organic reactions. The use of this technique has both diminished reaction times and increased product yields. Additionally, reaction products that are not accessible by conventional methods can be obtained using sonochemistry. Alkynyl iodonium salts have emerged as valuable reagents for organic synthesis in recent years. These alkynyl iodonium salts can be formed by sonicating a terminal alkyne with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene or [hydroxy(mesyloxy)iodo]benzene. In particular, two of the alkynes used in this research to synthesize the iodonium salts were 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne and 1-heptyne. The reactions of the iodonium salts with different ucleophiles were studied. The use of hypervalent iodine methodology along with sonication
resulted in a reactivity reversal of the terminal alkynes, which is very significant. Reactions of these alkynyl iodonium salts using sonochemistry with diethylmalonate, alkynide, and selenide ions were also investigated. Additionally, this research reports the impact of variables such as time and amplitude of sonication on product yields.

Making Research Relevant

Ultrasound has been used recently and effectively in various organic reactions. The use of this technique has decreased reaction times and increased product yields. Additionally reaction products that are not accessible by conventional methods can be obtained by using sonochemistry. Alkynyl iodonium salts have emerged as valuable reagents for organic synthesis in recent years as well. The alkynyl iodonium salts are formed by sonicating a terminal alkyne, such as 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne, 1-pentyne, and 1-heptyne, with [hydroxyl(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene or [hydroxyl(mesyloxy)iodo]benzene. The reactions of the iodonium salts with different nucleophiles such as diethylmalonate, alkynide, and selenide ions were studied. The use of hypervalent iodine methodology along with sonication resulted in reactivity reversal of the terminal alkynes, which is very significant. Additionally, this research reports the impact of variables such as time and amplitude of sonication on product yields.
