PhI(OAc)2‑Promoted Site-Selective
C–H Chlorination of (Hetero)arenes with p‑Toluenesulfonyl
Chloride

An
efficient and practical system for metal-free catalytic chlorination
of (hetero)arenes by using readily available and inexpensive TsCl
and PhI(OAc)2 is described. This newly developed protocol
has been achieved by the nonsymmetric iodane generated by a combination
of PhI(OAc)2 and TsCl. The broad substrate scope, good
functional group tolerance, excellent regioselectivity, and short
reaction times make this method attractive for the late-stage chlorination
of complex drug-like scaffolds.
