Abstract

The reduction of diaryliodonium trifluoromethanesulfonates with low-valent ytterbium and samarium reagents has been studied. In the reaction of diphenyliodonium trifluoromethanesulfonate with two equimolar amounts of metallic ytterbium, benzene is formed almost quantitatively. On the other hand, iodobenzene is produced together with benzene in the reaction with divalent YbI2 or SmI2. The intermediates generated in situ by ...
