Abstract

1-[Hydroxy(sulfonyloxy)iodo]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanes [CF3CH2I(OH)OSO2R; R = CH3, CF3, p-CH3C6H4] can be prepared in two steps from trifluoroethyliodide by oxidation with pertrifluoroacetic acid and subsequent reaction with TsOH, MsOH, or Me3SiOTf. Reaction of the tosylate derivative 3 with silyl enol ethers affords α-tosyloxyketones, while triflate 5 smoothly reacts with trimethylsilylbenzene to give the respective trifluoroethyl(phenyl)iodonium triflate 8.
