Diaryliodonium salts are useful arylating reagents that have been exploited widely. In this Communication, we demonstrate that heating diphenyliodonium triflate in the solvent DMSO leads to an unexpected arylation reaction. It is postulated that aryl...

Computational study on the iodobenzene-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of a δ-alkynyl β-ketoester (2022)
Journal Article
Butt, S. E., Rodríguez, A., Sotiropoulos, J., & Moran, W. J. (in press). Computational study on the iodobenzene-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of a δ-alkynyl β-ketoester. Arkivoc, 2022(7), 19-26. https://doi.org/10.24820/ark.5550190.p011.745

The iodobenzene-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of a δ-alkynyl β-ketoester has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the CPCM(acetonitrile)/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/SDD(I) levels. Three different mechanisms were consi... Read More about Computational study on the iodobenzene-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of a δ-alkynyl β-ketoester.
