Ethynylbenziodoxolones (EBXs) are commonly encountered reagents for the electrophilic alkynylation of nucleophiles. Herein, we report a one-pot, two-step process for EBX generation and their direct application in substrate functionalization. Our approach enables us to bypass the originally mandatory isolation and purification of the reagents, resulting in a more efficient synthesis. We could apply this process to seven different transformations involving both two- and one-electron nucleophiles to obtain a large variety of alkynylated products.
Unexpected reactivity of cyclic perfluorinated iodanes with electrophiles

We have found that cyclic perfluorinated iodanes react with electrophiles (E+ = Br, Cl, F, I) to afford perfluorinated E-RF compounds. This reactivity is unexpected since cyclic perfluorinated iodanes are considered as electrophilic reagents that normally react with nucleophiles (e.g. Nu- = SR, OR) to afford Nu-RF products. The utility of this new transformation is demonstrated for a [18F]CF3CF2-containing compound which was prepared from [18F]XeF2 obtained from cyclotron produced [18F]fluoride.
Metal-Free Oxidative Cross Coupling of Indoles with Electron-Rich (Hetero)arenes

A new method for the synthesis of bi-heteroaryls is reported, based on the umpolung of indoles with benziodoxol(on)e hypervalent iodine reagents (IndoleBX). The oxidative coupling of IndoleBX with an equimolar amount of electron-rich benzenes, indoles, pyrroles, and thiophenes proceeded under mild transition-metal-free conditions. Functionalized non-symmetrical bi-indolyl heterocycles were accessed efficiently. Introduction of a new type of C2-substituted indole benziodoxole reagents further allowed extending the scope of the reaction to NH unprotected and C3-alkylated indoles. The obtained bi-heterocycles are important building blocks in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, and could be easily transformed into more complex heterocyclic systems.
