Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 4.40 g (20 mmol) of iodosylbenzene in 100 ml of dichloromethane was added dropwise 4.64 g (20 mmol) of 3,3,3,2,1,1-hexafluoropropane sulfonic acid at 0° C. under exclusion of moisture. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The temperature was returned to 0° C. again. 1.84 mg (20 mmol) of toluene was added dropwise. After the addition, stirring was continued at room temperature for additional 1 hour. The solvent was evaporated. The oily residue was dissolved in diethyl ether. After cooling, crystals of 4-methylphenyl phenyl iodonium 3,3,3,2,1,1-hexafluoropropane sulfonate were obtained. The crystals were washed with hexane.
