(Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene, C 6 H 5 I(OCOCF 3 ) 2, is a hypervalent iodine compound used as a reagent in organic chemistry. It can be used to carry out the Hofmann rearrangement under acidic conditions.
Preparation
The syntheses of all aryl hypervalent iodine compounds start from iodobenzene. The compound can be prepared by reaction of iodobenzene with a mixture of trifluoroperacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid in a method analogous to the synthesis of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene:

It can also be prepared by dissolving diacetoxyiodobenzene (a commercially available compound) with heating in trifluoroacetic acid:

Uses
It also brings around the conversion of a hydrazone to a diazo compound, for example in the diazo-thioketone coupling. It also converts thioacetals to their parent carbonyl compounds.
Hofmann rearrangement
The Hofmann rearrangement is a decarbonylation reaction whereby an amide is converted to an amine by way of an isocyanate intermediate. It is usually carried out under strongly basic conditions.

The reaction can also be carried out under mildly acidic conditions by way of the same intermediate using a hypervalent iodine compound in aqueous solution. 6.15 Hofmann, Curtius, Schmidt, Lossen, and Related Reactions Jeffrey Aubé Charlie Fehl Ruzhang Liu Michael C.

The primary amine is initially present as its trifluoroacetate salt, which can be converted to the hydrochloride salt to facilitate product purification. Almond M. R. Stimmel J. B. Thompson E. A.
