Reagent for oxidation and CF2-group incorporating

Bis(acetato-κO) (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl) iodine (F5-PIDA) is a fluorinated hypervalent iodine(III) reagent used for selective oxidation under mild conditions1. It enables the oxidation of alkenes, alcohols, sulfides, and amines without requiring transition metals. The reagent is also a precursor for other iodine(III) compounds like iodonium ylides and iodosylbenzenes and is capable of ring-expansive difluorination of alkynylcyclopropanes2. Its compatibility with fluorinated substrates makes it valuable in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry. Thermally stable and non-explosive, it can be stored long-term under ambient conditions. This safer, scalable alternative to traditional oxidants offers efficient and environmentally friendly oxidation chemistry.
