Abstract A simple and easy method for the synthesis of various iodonium salts was developed, and involves the reaction of potassium organotrifluoroborates with p-iodotoluene difluoride under mild conditions. The one-pot synthesis of a (Z)-(2-fluoroalkenyl) iodonium salt from an alkynyltrifluoroborate was also carried out.
