Abstract

The majority of alkynyl (aryl) iodonium salts reported in the literature are derived from iodobenzene. This article describes the effects of varying this iodoarene building block on the synthesis, reactivity and stability of these salts. Two procedures to synthesize a variety of known and novel alkynyl (aryl) iodonium tosylates directly from the iodoarene are reported. In the reactions of these salts, those derived from 2-iodoanisole gave superior results than ...
