C-H, Si-H and C-F abstraction with an extremely electron poor I(iii) reagent

Download (139.92 kB)

The recently discovered I(iii) reagent NO2-C6H4-I(OTf)2 is found to rapidly react with hydride sources, including HSiEt3 and relatively hydridic C-H precursors. These represent the first distinct reactions involving direct hydride abstraction by I(iii) under ambient conditions. Direct C-F abstraction is also demonstrated, as well as oxidation of cyclic alkenes to aromatic rings, all representing new reactions for I(iii) demonstrating the very high reactivity of NO2-C6H4-I(OTf)2.
