Abstract

In 1872 Carles prepared a mono- and a diiodovanillin, but did not characterize them. In the current edition of Beilstein they are recorded as of unknown structures. Carles' work has now been repeated, and the structures of his products have been shown to be 5-iodovanillin and 2, 5-diiodovanillin, respectively. The behavior of these and similar derivatives toward typical amino compounds has been studied. No pronounced steric hindrance was noted in the latter reactions. The relation between the numerical values of the melting points and the positions of the halogen atoms in the iodine derivatives, so far as they have been obtained, is in good agreement with that observed in the cases of the chlorine and bromine compounds, viz., that the lowest value is found for position 2, the next higher for 5 and the highest for 6. Likewise, for a given position the lowest is found for the chloride, the next higher for the bromide and the highest for the iodide.
