Abstract
Abstract An aromatic compound with functional groups is produced by carrying out electrolytic oxidation of an iodide in an electrolyte containing an inorganic weak acid salt and/or medium acid salt, allowing the electrolyzed product to react with an aromatic compound having an electron donating group with a Hammet's substituent constant ( sigma p-) of -0.25 or lower and allowing the resultant iodized aromatic compound to react with a nucleophilic reagent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A process for producing a nucleophile-substituted aromatic compound comprising the steps of: oxidizing an iodide compound by electrolytic oxidation in an electrolyte comprising an inorganic acid salt selected from an inorganic weak acid salt, an inorganic medium acid salt or a mixture thereof to form an electrolyzed product; reacting the electrolyzed product with an aromatic compound having an electron donating group with a Hammet's substituent constant (6p) of -0.25 or lower to produce an iodized aromatic compound substituted with said electron donating group; and reacting the iodized aromatic compound with a nucleophilic reagent selected from ammonia, aminophenol, a cyano compound, a hydroxyl compound or a fluoro compound to form said nucleophile-substituted aromatic compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A process for producing a nucleophile-substituted aromatic compound comprising the steps of: oxidizing an iodide compound by electrolytic oxidation in an electrolyte comprising an inorganic acid salt selected from an inorganic weak acid salt, an inorganic medium acid salt or a mixture thereof to form an electrolyzed product; reacting the electrolyzed product with an aromatic compound having an electron donating group with a Hammet's substituent constant (6p) of -0.25 or lower to produce an iodized aromatic compound substituted with said electron donating group; and reacting the iodized aromatic compound with a nucleophilic reagent selected from ammonia, aminophenol, a cyano compound, a hydroxyl compound or a fluoro compound to form said nucleophile-substituted aromatic compound.
