Hi everyone, I need to write out and compare both the old and new methods of synthesizing DMP.
The old method refers to that defined by Boeckman and Mullins.
The new method refers to that defined by Ireland and Liu.

What I have come up with so far (with my limited knowledge of organic chemistry) is as follows:

Old Method:
Step 1:        2IC₆ H₄ COOH + 2KBrO₃ --> 2C₇H₅ IO₄ + 2KBr + O₂
Step 2:        C₇ H₅IO₄ + (CH₃CO)₂ O + CH₃COOH --> C₁₃H₁₃ IO₈


New Method:
Step 1:        IC₆H₄COOH + 2KHSO₅ --> C₇H₅IO₄ + 2KHSO₄
Step 2:        C₇H₅IO₄ + (CH₃CO)₂O --> C₁₃H₁₃IO₈



I'm not sure if the components of the equations above are correct, they are what I have come up with by reading articles online.
It would be great if anyone or everyone can help check my equations and confirm if they are accurate.



*modification to post: I'm sorry, I cant figure out how to get the subscript formatting right. If you are not sure what formula I typed, do pm me. Thank you!

*mod edit correct formatting (an extra [ sub ] had crept in)
