Reaction of arenes with iodine in the presence of potassium peroxodisulfate in trifluoroacetic acid. Direct and simple synthesis of diaryliodonium triflates

J Org Chem. 2006 Dec 22;71(26):9903-5. doi: 10.1021/jo061889q.

Abstract

Diaryliodonium triflates have been directly prepared by reaction of arenes with elemental iodine in good yields by using K2S2O8 and TFA, followed by treatment with NaOTf. This procedure avoids the use of high temperature and severe reaction conditions.
