Abstract 2,6-F2C6H3IF2 was isolated in quantitative yield from the reactions of 2,6-F2C6H3I and XeF2 or F2/N2-mixtures. Ligand exchange using (CF3CO)2O gave the corresponding bis(trifluoroacetate) in 84% yield. The reaction of 2,6-F2C6H3I(OCOCF3)2 and 1,3-F2C6H4 in the presence of CF3SO3H selectively gave [I(2,6-F2C6H3)2][OSO2CF3] in 80% yield. Ligand exchange reactions of 2,6-F2C6H3IF2 and triarylboranes in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of BF3·O(CH3)2 gave the corresponding 2,6-difluorophenyl(aryl)iodine(III) tetrafluoroborates in 45–85% yield. Ligand exchange of the tetrafluoroborate was studied for some examples using (CH3)3SiOSO2CF3 or (CH3)3SiOCOCF3 giving the corresponding 2,6-difluorophenyl(aryl)iodine(III) trifluoromethanesulfonates or trifluoroacetates in nearly quantitative yields. All compounds were characterized by their NMR and mass spectra and melting and decomposition points.
