Diphenyliodonium chloride

Diphenyliodonium chloride is a reactant that is used for copper-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of purines and diaryliodonium salts. It can also be used for the synthesis of acetylenic arylselenides in addition to the sonogashira coupling reactions for the preparation of aryl alkynes. Another use of it is the C-H functionalization for synthesis of (arylmethylene)oxindoles. In addition, it can be used for arylation of anilines. It has also been used in studies on the visible-light photosensitive system-dlourescein yellow-bis(di-Ph iodonium). Other studies include investigating the properties of direct and sensitized photolysis of dispersed photoacid generators.
