Abstract
Reaction of xenon difluoride (XeF2) and iodine (I-2) or N-iodosuccinim ide (NIS) with alkenes gives iodofluoro products in good yields. Aroma tics react with XeF2 and I-2 or NIS to undergo electrophilic aromatic iodination. Iodine monofluoride (IF) generated from XeF2 is less react ive than IF generated from I-2 and fluorine gas. This difference in re activity suggests that the interhalogen IF is delivered to the alkene or aromatic from a complex with XeF2. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. A ll rights reserved.
