Iodocubane is a chemical compound in which one hydrogen atom in the cubane molecule is replaced by iodine.

Synthesis

Iodocubane can be prepared from cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid via at least two routes.

The first route proceeds via esterification to the monomethyl ester, decarboxylative iodination to methyl 4-iodocubane-1-carboxylate using phenyliodine(III) diacetate,[1] followed by hydrolysis and Barton decarboxylation.[2]

The second route proceeds via decarboxylative iodination to 1,4-diiodocubane, followed by monodeiodination via metal–halogen exchange with ethylmagnesium bromide, transmetallation with n-butyllithium, and acid hydrolysis.[1]

Use

Iodocubane is employed in the synthesis of other monosubstituted cubanes.[2]
