• • radical generated from CF3I [40]. However, the reaction with bench-stable Togni’s reagent is mechanistically distinct from the previous radical approach (Scheme 34). In accord with a similar mechanism proposed by Togni [37], the resulting λ3-iodane species 40 undergo rapid reductive elimination with

• . The observed decrease in reactivity in the order p-nitroiodobenzene > iodobenzene > p-methyliodobenzene > 1-iodo-4-methoxybenzene suggests that the reaction proceeds by oxidative addition followed by reductive elimination. In addition to this, the order of reactivity suggests that aryl halides having

• ligands (L*) exhibit large steric demands and good metal to ligand back bonding abilities. Such ligands generate active R-CuI-L* catalysts and support the rate determining reductive elimination in the catalytic cycle (Scheme 1).

• -rich transition metals, such as CuI. The rate determining reductive elimination was expected to be favored by the good metal to ligand back bonding properties of the σ*(P-Cl) acceptor as is well established in phosphites, i.e. σ*(P-OR), and phosphoramidites, i.e. σ*(P-NR2). Computed anharmonic CO
