• ][66][67]. Previously, we have studied the influence of the length of the O(CH2)nSO3Na sidearm (n = 0, 2, 3, 4) and found that the M0 host – where the hydrophobic linker (CH2)n was completely removed – displayed higher binding affinity than M1 which we attributed to the location of the ionic group

• alternative approach, we reported the first application of using fluoroiodane 2 as a fluorinating reagent in 2013 [11]. The chelate sidearm makes 2 an air-stable, easy-to-handle solid with excellent fluorinating ability and it often exhibits different reactivity to that observed with fluoroaza reagents such

• contains two trifluoromethyl groups in the sidearm which could alter the electronic effects significantly. We therefore decided to prepare a small series of monocyclic trifluoro(aryl)-λ5-iodanes, where the sidearm substituents were changed stepwise from methyl to trifluoromethyl groups, so that we also

• ). Dimethyltrifluoroiodane 20 was readily formed under mild reaction conditions using 2.5 equivalents of Selectfluor at 40 °C for 24 hours. However, the introduction of trifluoromethyl groups to the sidearm of the iodine(III) fluoroiodanes led to harsher oxidative fluorination conditions being required because the increased

The corresponding most stable structure of the enol form is shown in Figure 1, where hydrogen bonding between the tautomeric OH group and the sidearm carbonyl group can be seen.
