Ns. Pirguliyev et al., Xenon fluorotriflate: An efficient reagent for the synthesis of (p-phenylene)bisiodonium salts, SYNTHESIS-S, (8), 1999, pp. 1297-1299
A number of (p-phenylene)bisiodonium triflates have been prepared from p-di
iodobenzene by the reactions of reagent 1 with corresponding acetylenes or
aromatic compounds with fairly good yields.
