An anodic oxidation enabled synthesis of hypervalent iodine(Ⅲ) reagents from aryl iodides is demonstrated.Under mild electrochemical conditions,a range of aryliodine(Ⅲ) reagents including iodosylarenes,(difunctionaliodo)arenes,benziodoxoles and diaryliodonium salts can be efficiently synthesized and derivatized in good to excellent yields with high selectivity.As only electrons serve as the oxidation reagents,this method offers a more straightforward and sustainable manner avoiding the use of expensive or hazardous chemical oxidants.
