Abstract

The preparation of thallium(III) trifluoroacetate and its efficacy as a reagent for electrophilic aromatic thallation are described. Arylthallium ditrifluoroacetates, the products of thallation, react rapidly with aqueous potassium iodide to produce thallium(I) iodide and the corresponding aromatic iodide. This extremely simple synthesis of aromatic iodides is generally applicable to a wide range of aromatic and heterocyclic substrates.
