Alkyl halides, especially iodides and bromides, are used for ionic or radical carbon-carbon coupling reactions. They are often the intermediates of choice in substitution re-actions, eliminations, and rearrangements. Alcohols are also easily transformed into the deoxy derivatives via the halides. Alkyl halides are readily available from the cor-responding alcohols by different procedures. For the direct conversion of alcohols into alkyl bromides or iodides, phosphorus-based reagents are the most commonly used. Rydon et al., in the 1950s, introduced triphenyl phos-phite based reagents such as methyltriphenoxy-phosphonium iodide and iodotriphenoxyphosphonium iodide for the iodinationof alcohols. 1 These reagents have now generally been replaced by triphenylphosphine in combination with a halogen source such as carbon tetrabromide, 2 IV-bromosuccinimide or iV-iodosuccinimide. 3 Recently triphenylphosphine together with triiodo-imidazole, or iodine and imidazole, or tribromoimidazole, have been used, giving high yields coupled with selectivity for polyhydroxy compounds. 4 All of these systems gen-erally require elevated temperatures and long reaction times. A major difficulty experienced with these reagent systems is due tothe fact that triphenylphosphine and its oxide are difficult to remove from the reaction mixture by means other than precipitation and/or chromatography, which besides being cumbersome results in reduced yield. This is especially inconvenient in large-scale synthesis. The aim of this work was to find new iodination and bromination reagent systems in which the phosphorus-based reagents and products could be removed from the organic phase by extraction. Two halogenation reagent systems were designed with this requirement. They consist of iodine (or bromine), imidazole and one of the following reagents: A, chlorodiphenylphosphine (CDP)(1); or B,[p-(dimethylamino) phenyl] diphenylphosphine5 [(p-Me2NC6H4) P (Ph) 2](DAPDP)(2). Halogenation of alco-hols with these systems gives products in high yields under mild conditions, and the phosphorus-containing products are extracted from the organic phase into a basic (for A) or acidic (for B) aqueousphase during workup. halogenation reagent systems A: Cl-P (Ph) 2+ I2 (Br2)+ imidazole
