Iodine(III)-Mediated Ring-Contraction Reactions Using Halogenated and Non-halogenated Solvents.

This article discusses the use of iodine(III)-mediated ring-contraction reactions in both halogenated and non-halogenated solvents. The study compares the yields of ring-contraction reactions using different solvents and investigates the behavior of different derivatives of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene. The results show that using halogenated solvents leads to higher yields. The article also provides a detailed account of the synthesis and purification of various organic compounds, including their yields, physical properties, and spectroscopic data. Additionally, it provides information on the synthesis and characterization of three specific compounds, along with supporting information for further reference. [Extracted from the article]
