60. [26c]). The series of experiments conducted for the optimization of this reaction cannot be used for the determination of rate constants because of the low solubility of ethyl 2-iodoacetate in mixtures of methanol and hydrochloric acid. The low concentrations of the iodo compounds have the effect that the addition of the aryl radicals to non-activated olefins can successfully compete against the otherwise predominant iodine transfer reaction.
