“…151,153,369,370 (Dicyano)iodonium triflate 286 generated in situ reacts with tributyltin derivatives of aromatic compounds 446 affording the corresponding diaryliodonium salts 441 (eq 226). 370 Since (dicyano)iodonium triflate (286) does not possess any pronounced electrophilic or oxidizing properties and is not acidic, it is especially useful for the synthesis of various bis(heteroaryl)iodonium salts from acid-sensitive substrates. 369 For example, reagent 286 reacts with stannylated derivatives of furan, thiophene, indole, and pyrazole under very mild condition to afford the respective iodonium salts 448, 450, and 452 in good yield (eqs 227-229).…”
