Aromatic thallation is shown to be a reversible, electrophilic substitution reaction with an energy of activation of 27 kcal/mol and a large steric requirement. The process of thallation followed by addition of aqueous potassium iodide represents a simple and facile synthesis of aromatic iodocompounds, and the factors (kinetic, thermodynamic, steric) which control the position of thallation (and hence of iodination) have been systematically explored. Meta substitution is achievedunder conditions of thermodynamic control. Under conditions of kinetic control, ortho substitution results when chelation of the reagent (thallium (III) trifluoroacetate, TTFA) with the directing substituent permits intramolecular delivery of the electrophile, and para substitution results when such capabilities are absent. Thus appropriate manipulation of conditions can lead to control over orientation (ortho or meta or para) in the same electrophilic substitution reaction. The application of these observations to the selec-tive synthesis of a number of aromatic iodo compounds is described.
