Reaction of β-[[(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)oxy]vinyl](phenyl)-iodonium triflates with aryllithiums gave (aryl)(phenyl)iodonium triflates selectively. This reaction indicates that ligand exchange reaction takes place efficiently at iodine atom and provides another approach to unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts.
