We report a new strategy for the conversion of carboxylic acids into potent acid triflate electrophiles. The reaction involves oxidative carbonylation of carboxylic acids with I2 in the presence of AgOTf, and is postulated to proceed via acyl hypoiodites that react with CO to form acid triflates. Coupling this chemistry with subsequent trapping with arenes offers a mild, room temperature approach to generate ketones directly from broadly available carboxylic acids without the use of corrosive and reactive Lewis or Bronsted acid additives, and instead from compounds that are readily available, stable, and functional group compatible.

The reactions of tris(2-thienyl)stibanes with various acyl chlorides, using a catalytic amount of iron(III) chloride, afforded 2-acylthiophenes. Iron(III) chloride is presumed to act as a Lewis acid, and the ipso substituent of each 2-thienyl group of tris(2-thienyl)stibane is replaced with an acyl group. The reaction is highly atom-efficient in that all three thiophene rings of tris(2-thienyl)stibane take part in the reaction. The reaction procedure is so simple that it can also be carried out under solvent-free and aerobic conditions.
