(Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene, C
₆H
₅I(OCOCF
₃)
₂, is a

hypervalent iodine compound used as a reagent in organic chemistry. It can be used to carry out the Hofmann rearrangement under acidic conditions.^[1]

Preparation

The syntheses of all aryl

(diacetoxyiodo)benzene:^[1]

It can also be prepared by dissolving diacetoxyiodobenzene (a commercially-available compound) with heating in trifluoroacetic acid:^[2]

Uses

It also brings around the conversion of a

carbonyl

compounds.

Hofmann rearrangement

The Hofmann rearrangement is a decarbonylation reaction whereby an amide is converted to an amine by way of an isocyanate intermediate. It is usually carried out under strongly basic conditions.^[3]^[4]

The reaction can also be carried out under mildly acidic conditions by way of the same intermediate using a hypervalent iodine compound in aqueous solution.
