Herein we report a new general method for one-step synthesis of four kinds of fluoroiodane(Ⅲ) reagents by treating the corresponding aryl iodides with silver difluoride(AgF2).This is the first method applicable for the synthesis of all four fluoroiodane(Ⅲ) reagents including p-iodotoluene difluoride(1),fluorobenziodoxole(2),fluoro-benziodoxolone(3),and fluoro-N-acetylbenziodazole(4).AgF2 was firstly employed in the direct oxidative fluorination of iodobenzene and thus has shown its outstanding oxidation and fluorine-transfer ability.The use of AgF2 has improved the synthesis of fluoroiodane(Ⅲ) reagents by shortening the reaction steps,avoiding the use of hazardous reagents,and simplifying the experimental operations.It was worth noting that we have developed the first one-step direct synthetic method for 3,while 3 can only be synthesized through Cl→F ligand exchange reaction previously.
