Abstract

A wide variety of reagents have been developed for intro- ducing fluorine into organic compounds over the last 50 years1 with several halogen fluorides such as ClF3 and BrF3 so on.2,3 However, iodine fluorides (IFn; n=1, 3 and 5), except for IF, have hardly been employed in organic fluorination reactions, because of their hazardousness, instability and high reactivity.3 We describe here for the first time an efficient and convenient fluorination reagent, called IF5 / ...
