Abstract:Abstract: Iodonium ylides ylides have have recently recently attracted attracted much much attention attention on on account account of oftheir their synthetic synthetic ap- applications.plications. However, However, only only a alimited limited number number of of repo reportsrts concerning concerning the properties andand reactivityreactivity ofof iodoniumiodonium ylidesylides exist,exist, whichwhich isis partlypartly duedue toto theirtheir instability.instability. InIn thisthis study,study, we we synthesized synthesized several several iodoniumiodonium ylidesylides that that bear bear both both an an electron-withdrawing electron-withdrawing group group and and an an aromatic aromatic ring ring with with an anortho ortho-t-- t-BuSO2 group. Based on the crystal structures of the synthesized iodonium ylides in combination BuSO2 group. Based on the crystal structures of the synthesized iodonium ylides in combination with natural-bond-orbitalwith natural-bond-orbital (NBO) (NBO) calculations, calculations, we estimated we estimated the strength the strength of the intra-of the andintra- intermolecular and intermo- halogen-bondinglecular halogen-bonding interactions. interactions.
