Methyl triflate → Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium trifluoromethanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl methyl ether (5 ml) was added to bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium acetate (467 mg; 1 mmol) and methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (170 mg; 1.05 mmol), and the resultant mixture was allowed to react for 4 hours at room temperature while being stirred. The solid formed by reaction was purified and separated through filtration, and dried under vacuum, to thereby yield 412 mg of bis(p-tert-butylphenyl)iodonium trifluoromethanesulfonate (yield: 76%).
