Abstract

The use of oxone in trifluoroacetic acid enables a general and convenient synthesis of [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]arenes at room temperature. The oxidation of perfluoroalkyl iodides gives [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]perfluoroalkanes, that can be converted to stable [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]perfluoroalkanes.
