General Description
Potassium iodide is an odorless white solid that sinks and mixes with water. It is a water soluble inorganic salt that can be prepared by reacting hydrogen iodide and potassium bicarbonate.
Application:
Potassium iodide may be used as a catalyst in the following processes:
- Conversion of aromatic primary amines to the corresponding nitro compounds in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant.
- Conversion of aryl halide to aryl iodides in the presence of nickel catalysts.
- Preparation of sulfonated oxindoles from activated alkenes and sulfonylhydrazides in water and in the presence of 8-crown-6 and tert-butyl hydroperoxide.
