Preparation and structure

Iodosobenzene is prepared from iodobenzene.[3] It is prepared by first oxidizing iodobenzene by peracetic acid. Hydrolysis of resulting diacetate affords "PhIO":[4]

C6H5I + CH3CO3H + CH3CO2H → C6H5I(O2CCH3)2 + H2O
C6H5I(O2CCH3)2 + H2O → C6H5IO + 2 CH3CO2H

The structure of iodosobenzene has been verified by

vibrational spectroscopy indicate that it is not molecular, but is polymeric, consisting of –I–O–I–O– chains.[7] The related diacetate, C6H5I(O2CCH3)2, illustrates the ability of iodine(III) to adopt a T-shaped geometry without multiple bonds.[8]
Theoretical studies show that the bonding between the iodine and oxygen atoms in iodosobenzene represents a single dative I-O sigma bond, confirming the absence of the double I=O bond.[9]

A monomeric derivative iodosylbenzene is known in the form of 2-(tert-butylsulfonyl)iodosylbenzene, a yellow solid. C-I-O angle is 94.78°, C-I and I-O distances are 2.128 and 1.848 Å.[10]

Applications

Iodosobenzene has no commercial uses, but in the laboratory it is employed as an "oxo-transfer reagent." It epoxidizes certain alkenes and converts some metal complexes into the corresponding oxo derivatives. Although it is an oxidant, it is also mildly nucleophilic. These oxo-transfer reactions operate by the intermediacy of adducts PhI=O→M, which release PhI.[11]

A mixture of iodosobenzene and sodium azide in acetic acid converts alkenes to vicinal diazides:.[12][13]

R2C=CR2 + 2 NaN3 + PhIO + 2 AcOH → (N3)R2C−CR2(N3) + PhI + 2 AcONa + H2O

Safety

This compound is explosive and should not be heated under vacuum.
