Diphenyliodonium chloride → Diphenyliodonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate

Participants

Reaction Steps

7.17 g (or 22.6 mmol) of diphenyliodonium chloride were dissolved in 300 ml of water in a 1,000 ml Erlenmeyer flask. 15.52 g (or 22.6 mmol) of lithium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate in solution in 250 ml of water were added dropwise. The mixture was maintained under stirring for 30 minutes and was then filtered. The filtrate was dried under reduced pressure (133 Pa) overnight with the exclusion of light. 16.33 g (or a yield of 75%) of diphenyliodonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate were thus recovered.
