Synthesis and characterization of novel polyvalent organoiodine compounds

Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of soluble analogues of iodosylbenzenePhIO and (tosyliminoiodo)benzenePhINTs are reported. The syntheses of 4-trifluoromethyl-2-(tert-butylsulfonyl)iodosylbenzene (3) and 4-trifluoromethyl-2-(tert-butylsulfonyl)-(tosylimino)iodobenzene (4) increase the repertoire of available soluble organoiodine(III) based oxo- and nitrene precursors. We also report the synthesis of a new organoiodine(V) compound, 4-trifluoromethyl-2-(tert-butylsulfonyl)iodylbenzene.
