Arylation diaryliodonium salts

The carbonylation of aryl iodides in the presence of alkyl iodides and Zn Cu couple affords aryl alkyl ketones via the formation of alkylzinc species from alkyl iodides followed by transmetallation and reductive elimination[380]. The Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of the diaryliodonium salts 516 under mild conditions in the presence of Zn affords ketones 517 via phenylzinc. The a-diketone 518 is formed as a byproduct[381],... 

Diaryliodonium salts also reacted with enamines to give a-aryl ketones in low yields (370). 

In recent years, a variety of hypervalent iodine reagents have been available. The versatility of these hypervalent organoiodine reagents in organic synthesis has been well recognized. Diaryliodonium salts constitute an important reagent class for the transfer of aryl groups. These iodonium ion salts have been used effectively in C-arylation of a variety of nucleopohiles.112 The arylation of the anion of nitroalkanes with diaryliodonium salts was already reported in 1963.113...

In a modified version of the Suzuki reaction arylboronates or boranes are utilized instead of arylboronic acid. Under the action of phosphine-free palladium catalysts NaBPh4 and tra(l-naphtyl)borane were found suitable phenyl-sources for arylation of haloaromatics in fully or partially aqueous solutions at 20-80 °C with good to excellent yields (Scheme 6.12) [32-34]. Aryl halides can be replaced by water-soluble diaryliodonium salts, At2IX (X = HSO4, BF4, CF3COO) in the presence of a base both Ar groups take part in the coupling [35]. 

This procedure represents a novel, convenient, and fairly general method for preparing y-aryl-/3-diketones. By this method the submitters have phenylated the dianion of 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (61%), 2,4-heptanedione (98%), 2,4-nonanedione (78%), 2,4-tridecanedione (53%), and 3,5-heptanedione (50%).6 Substituted diaryliodonium salts have also been used to produce l-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-pentadione (44%), 4-(4-methyl-phenyl)-l-phenyl-l,3-butanedione (44%), and l-(4-methyl-phenyl)-2,4-nonanedione (21%).6 Under these conditions no more than a trace, if any, of arylation at the a-position of the /3-diketones was observed by gas chromatography analysis. 

As mentioned above, condensed 1,2,3-triazine derivatives can be arylated by treatment with nitro-activated aryl halides. The only other report of direct arylation of the 1,2,3-triazine system is due to McKillop and Kobylecki, who studied the reaction of l,2,3-benzotriazin-4-one (10, R = H) with diaryliodonium salts in the presence of base. Treatment of 10, R = H, with diphenyl- and di-p-bromophenyliodonium chloride results in exclusive arylation at N2 and gives the corresponding triazinium betaines (77, R = Ph, p-BrCjH4) in good yield. When di-p-tolyliodonium chloride is used, a mixture of the Nj-, Nj-, and 0-arylated... 

Diaryliodonium salts (diaryl-A3-iodanes) are widely used as arylating agents. There are a number of methods available for their synthesis typically involving two or three steps.378,379 A recent one-pot approach, however, offers a simple and high-yielding access to unsymmetrical diaryliodonium triflates using meto-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) as the oxidant380 [Eq. (4.111)]. Moreover, symmetrical diaryliodonium salts can directly be prepared from iodine and arenes without the use of expensive aryl iodides [Eq. (4.112)]. 

The first preparations of diaryliodonium salts have been reported in the 19th century, but refinements and improvements keep appearing to date. In most cases an iodoaryl species containing iodine(III) is coupled with an arene or a derivative of it in a typical electrophilic aromatic substitution. Lithiated, stannylated or silylated aryls and arylboronic acids or borates have been introduced recently in order to avoid harsh conditions and to improve yields. The iodoaryl species may be also formed in situ from arenes and iodine(III) reagents. 

Aryl and heteroaryl (furyl, thienyl) boronic acids are especially suitable for the preparation of their iodonium salts, having the added advantage of better yields and lack of toxicity [108]. Tetraarylborates (sodium or potassium) reacted with (diacetoxyiodo)arenes in acetic acid to afford diaryliodonium salts in excellent yield (Scheme 37). It appears that triarylboranes formed upon reaction of the borates with acetic acid serve actually as the real arylating agents [109]. 

The self-condensation of iodosylbenzene was the first reported synthesis of a diaryliodonium salt back in 1892. The mechanism of the reaction was delineated only recently. This approach served for the synthesis of p-(phenylene)bis-(aryliodonium) salts [47], as well as some oligomers from (diacetoxyiodo)ben-zene and triflic acid [117], followed by coupling with an arene (Scheme 39). Under suitable conditions the same reaction can lead to simple phenyl(aryl)-iodonium triflates [118]. 

Aryl-, as well as heteroaryliodonium salts, belong to the most common, stable, and well investigated class of polyvalent iodine compounds. The preparation and chemistry of aryliodonium salts was extensively covered in several reviews [5,7,9,10]. Diaryliodonium salts have found synthetic application as arylating reagents in reactions with various organic substrates. 

Compounds containing an active methylene group, or the respective carbanions formed in situ, react smoothly with diaryliodonium salts to yield a-arylated products [1]. A recent example of arylation of carbanions under polar, non-cat-alytic conditions is represented by the reaction of diaryliodonium salts with malonates 90 (Scheme 41) [69]. 

The use of diaryliodonium salts for direct arylations of nucleophilic species is a well-established practice. Examples of C-heteroatom bond formation by this approach, including uncatalyzed arylations of dialkyl phosphite, thiocarboxy-late, arylthiosulfonate, dialkyl phosphorothiolate, arylselenolate, and aryltel-lurolate salts with symmetrical diaryliodonium halides, are shown in (Scheme 40) [110-115]. 

Recent progress on the use of hypervalent iodine reagents for the construction of heteroatom-heteroatom bonds is reviewed. Reactions of aryl-A3-iodanes with heteroatom substrates derived from third-row elements and beyond are considered first, and an unusual example of heteroatom-heteroatom bond formation with diaryliodonium salts is then discussed. Finally, the use of sulfonylimino(aryl)iodanes for imidations of phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and arsenic compounds, including enantioselective transformations (S,Se), and alternate hypervalent iodine approaches to N-sulfonylsulfilimines and N-sulfonylarsinimines are summarized. 

In summary, recent investigations of reactions of aryl-A3-iodanes,ArIL1L2,with heteroatom substrates, derived from third-row elements and beyond, provide examples of P-O, S-O, Se-O, Se-P, Se-S, Te-O, Bi-O and Sb-0 bond formation. Sulfonylimino(aryl)iodanes, ArI = NS02R, are especially useful as imidation reagents, and have been utilized for the construction of P-N, S-N, Se-N, and As-N bonds. Diaryliodonium salts have been employed indirectly for formation of the Se-Se bond.

Apart from copper(I)-mediated reactions, few studies of the treatment of vinyliodonium salts with carbanions have appeared. The vinylations of the 2-phenyl- and 2- -hexyl-l,3-indandionate ions shown in equations 222 and 223 are the only reported examples of vinyliodonium-enolate reactions known to this author26,126. ( ,)-l-Dichloroiodo-2-chloroethene has been employed with aryl- and heteroarvllithium reagents for the synthesis of symmetrical diaryliodonium salts (equation 224)149,150. These transformations are thought to occur via the sequential displacement of both chloride ions with ArLi to give diaryl (/ -chlorovinyl)iodanes which then decompose with loss of acetylene (equation 225). That aryl(/ -chlorovinyl)iodonium chlorides are viable intermediates in such reactions has been shown by the conversion of ( )-(/ chlorovinyl)phenyliodonium chloride to diaryliodonium salts with 2-naphthyl- and 2-thienyllithium (equation 226)149,150.

The caged species may escape geminate recombination and produce various species that can initiate cationic polymerization. Solvent (RH) often participates in these reactions producing protonic acids. As shown in Eq. (44), protonic acids are also formed by reaction of radical cations with aryl radicals or by Friedel-Crafts arylation. Up to 70% of the protonic acid is formed upon photolysis of diaryliodonium salts [205]. In addition to initiation by protons, arenium cations and haloarene radical cations can react directly with monomer. The efficiency of these salts as cationic initiators depends strongly on the counterions. Those with complex anions such as hexafluoroantimonate, hexafluorophosphate, and triflate are the most efficient. 

Arylboronic acids, (ArB(OH)2, react with thiols and copper(II) acetate to give the corresponding alkyl aryl sulfide. " Arylboronic acids also react with N-methylthiosuccinimide, with a copper catalyst, to give the aryl methyl sulfide. " " In the presence of a palladium catalyst, thiophenols react with diaryliodonium salts. 

For years, diaryliodonium salts have been used for the direct 18F-fluorinations in nucleophilic substitution reaction on aromatic rings [34, 35, 40, 41], The introduction of nocarrier-added [18F]fluoride into an aryl substituent of diaryliodonium salt results in a [18F]fluorinated arene and a corresponding iodoarene (Figure 14.4).
