2C-I from NIS?

[Rabidreject]

Can I perform the halogination of 2c-h to 2c-I in the same way people make 2c-b?
I,e, using NIS instead of NBS?

I assume this would work but thought I would ask…

I2/CuO maybe...

Yeah I realised this pretty quickly lol

I’m about to do the silver nitrate/i2 synthesis of this instead
