Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an iodinated aromatic compound. More specifically, disclosed is a method of preparing an iodinated aromatic compound by iodinating an aromatic compound in the presence of oxygen over a zeolite catalyst, in which the aromatic compound and a monoiodo analog of the aromatic compound, or a monoiodo aromatic compound, as raw materials, are allowed to react with iodine.
