Aims: Organic thiocyanates are important pharmaceutical intermediates. This study aimed to develop a selective and efficient approach for synthesizing organic thiocyanates.
Methods: Under mild reaction conditions, an array of alkenes, KSCN, and diaryliodonium salts are considered good substrates, providing various aryl-substituted alkylthiocyanates with modest to excellent yield. Radical trapping and nucleophilic trapping experiments were carried out to explore the mechanistic pathways. The experiments indicated the involvement of free-radical and carbenium ion intermediate processes. Diaryliodonium salts were used as the radical arylating reagent, and KSCN was the electrophilic cyanating reagent. Under irradiation, the excited photocatalyst reduced aryldiazonium salt to aryl radical. Then, the radical was added to olefin to generate a new radical. Finally, the generated radical was further oxidized and arrested by SCN anion.
Conclusion: This coupling reaction provides a straightforward and practical route to construct various aryl-substituted alkylthiocyanates.

Vicinal bis(tetraarylphosphonium) salts have scarcely been reported in the literature. In this study, we demonstrate that visible-light-induced difunctionalization of -trifluoromethylsulfonylated diaryliodonium salts conveniently furnishes bis(phosphonium) salts without additional catalysts or photoinitiators. The methodology establishes a practical platform for the preparation of bis(phosphonium) salts using readily available tertiary phosphines.

We have developed transition-metal-free synthetic methodologies for dibenzoxazepinones utilizing salicylamides as starting materials and employing two distinct types of successive hypervalent iodine-mediated arylocyclizations. This synthetic protocol encompasses selective phenol -arylation of salicylamides with diaryliodonium salts, followed by electrophilic aromatic amination utilizing chemically or electronically generated hypervalent iodine reagents in the second stage of the process.

-succinimidyl-[F]fluorobenzoate ([F]SFB) is commonly prepared through a three-step procedure starting from [F]fluoride ion. A number of methods for the single-step radiosynthesis of [F]SFB have been introduced recently, including the radiofluorination of diaryliodonium salts and the Cu-mediated F-fluorination of pinacol aryl boronates and aryl tributyl stannanes, but they still have the drawbacks of lengthy product purification procedures. In the present work, two approaches for the direct labeling of [F]SFB from diaryliodonium (DAI) salt () and pinacol aryl boronate () are evaluated, with a major focus on developing a fast and simple SPE-based purification procedure.

An efficient enantioselective coupling reaction between sulfenamides and cyclic diaryliodonium salts is established via adaptive Cu/anionic stereogenic-at-Co(III) complex combined catalysis, precisely synthesizing a broad range of axially chiral sulfilimines with excellent enantioselectivities, diastereoselectivities, regioselectivities, and chemoselectivities (67 examples under same conditions, up to 98 % ee). The following thermodynamically controlled pyramidal inversion enables efficient stereodivegent synthesis of all four stereoisomers. Mechanistic studies suggest that anionic stereogenic-at-cobalt(III) complexes serve as counteranions of diaryliodonium and anionic ligand of Cu(I) catalyst simultaneously, which could be regarded as an explanation for outstanding selectivities.
