Oxidative Anion Metatheses in Diaryliodonium Iodides and Chlorides

Oxidative anion metatheses in the crude title iodides and chlorides produced the corresponding pure hydrogensulfates, nitrates, tetrafluoroborates, triflates, tosylates, as well as bromides and chlorides (only from the iodides) in 54-86% yields. These procedures are easier and shorter than earlier methods. By using modified oxidative metatheses in the title iodides (in the presence of HBr or HCl) it was possible either to isolate, or to detect only, the intermediate dihaloiodates(I). [Ar2I]+[IX2]- (X = Br or Cl). A complex Ph2I+Cl- -1/2I2 was also obtained in 56% yield. Tetraethylammonium iodide was similarly converted into pure tetrafluoroborate or dibromoiodate(I) in 75 and 76% yields, respectively.

A short-cut synthesis of diaryliodonium bromides followed by oxidative anion metatheses

This paper reports a one-pot synthesis of the title bromides (in 20-88% crude yields) from iodoarenes oxidized with the CrO3/AcOH/Ac2O/H2SO4 liquid mixture, then coupled in situ with arenes and, finally, precipitated out with a KBr solution. Similarly, diaryliodonium perchlorates and iodides are obtained in 40-89% crude yields. Oxidative anion metatheses in the crude title bromides produce the respective pure diaryliodonium tetrafluoroborates, tosylates, trifluoroacetates, hydrosulfates, nitrates, and chlorides in 57-80% yields. These new preparative procedures are easier and shorter than many earlier methods.
