Abstract:
A new type of redox mediator for electrosynthesis based on the iodine(I)/iodine(III) redox couple is reported. It is demonstrated that the use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol as solvent plays a crucial role for both the selective anodic generation of the active iodine(III) species and the subsequent chemical transformation. Furthermore, the supporting electrolyte is merged with the mediator by tethering the redox-active iodophenyl moiety to an alkylammonium group, allowing for straightforward recovery and reuse of both components.
