Process for producing aromatic compound with functional groups

摘要

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.
