- Regiospecific one-pot synthesis of diaryliodonium tetrafluoroborates from arylboronic acids and aryl iodides
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Diaryliodonium salts have recently received considerable attention as mild arylation reagents in organic synthesis. This paper describes a regiospecific, sequential one-pot synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryliodonium tetrafluoroborates, which are the most popular salts in metal-catalyzed arylations. The protocol is fast and high-yielding and has a large substrate scope. Furthermore, the corresponding diaryliodonium triflates can conveniently be obtained via an in situ anion exchange.

- From hypervalent xenon difluoride and aryliodine(III) difluorides to onium salts: Scope and limitation of acidic fluoroorganic reagents in the synthesis of fluoroorgano xenon(II) and iodine(III) onium salts
-
Fluorinated organodifluoroboranes RfBF2 are in general suitable reagents to transform XeF2 and RIF2 into the corresponding onium tetrafluoroborate salts [RfXe][BF4] and [R(Rf)I][BF4], respectively. (4-C5F4N)BF2 and trans-CF3CF{double bond, long}CFBF2 which represent boranes of high acidity form no Xe-C onium salts in reactions with XeF2 but give the desired iodonium salts with RIF2 (R = C6F5, o-, m-, p-C6FH4). The reaction of (4-C5F4N)BF2 with XeF2 ends with a XeF2-borane adduct. C6F5Xe(4-C5F4N), the first Xe-(4-C5F4N) compound, was obtained when C6F5XeF was reacted with Cd(4-C5F4N)2. We describe the synthesis of (4-C5F4N)IF2 and reactions of (4-C5F4N)IF2 and C6F5IF2 with (4-C5F4N)BF2. Analogous to [(4-C5F4N)2I][BF4] and [C6F5(4-C5F4N)I][BF4] aryl(perfluoroalkenyl)iodonium salts [R(R′)I][BF4] were obtained from RIF2 (R = C6F5, o-, m-, p-C6FH4) and R′BF2 (R′ = trans-CF3CF{double bond, long}CF, CF2{double bond, long}CF). The gas phase fluoride affinities pF- of selected fluoroorganodifluoroboranes RfBF2 and their hydrocarbon analogs are calculated (B3LYP/6-31+G*) and discussed with respect to their potential to introduce Rf-groups into hypervalent EF2 bonds. Four aspects which influence the transformation of hypervalent EF2 bonds (E = Xe, R′I) under the action of Lewis acidic reagents RAFn-1 (A = B, P; n = 3, 5) into the corresponding [RE][AFn+1] salts are presented and the important role of the acidity is emphasized. Fluoride affinities may help to plan the introduction of organo groups into EF2 moieties and to expand the types of acidic reagents. Thus C6H5PF4 with a pF- value comparable to that of RfBF2 compounds is able to introduce the C6H5 group into RIF2 (R = C6F5, p-C6FH4).
