Ortho-Carborane-Supported Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents: A Scaffold for Enhanced Oxidative Capability
The first C-bound ortho-carborane (oCb) supported hypervalent iodine(III) -IL<sub>2</sub> type species are reported in RoCb-IL<sub>2</sub>, for L = F and OTf, including two structurally verified -IF<sub>2</sub> examples. Initial synthetic observations and supporting theoretical calculations suggest that the new oCb-IL<sub>2</sub> type compounds will be more reactive than any known Ar-IL<sub>2</sub> compound. This is exemplified by a previously unobserved oxidative demethylation of trimethylsilyl fluoride, suggesting that many substrates unreactive toward Ar-IL<sub>2</sub> could be susceptible to oxidation by oCb-IL<sub>2</sub>.
