1 General Experimental Procedures

Chemicals

mCPBA (<77 wt.%) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and dried under high vacuum at rt for three hours. The weight percent active oxidant was then determined by iodometric titration1 and varied between 84-88% in different batches. The dried mCPBA can be stored for prolonged time in the refrigerator. NB: mCPBA of 95-100% purity can de can be detonated by shock or sparks, but such high concentrations cannot be achieved with this drying procedure, as commercial mCPBA contains up to 15% mCBA. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/content/dam/sigma-aldrich/docs/Aldrich/Bulletin/al_techbull_al116.pdf 2-iodobenzoic acid was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) were purchased from TCI, stored under argon and handled using dry glass Hamilton syringes with oven-dried metal needles. BF3.OEt2 was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, stored under argon and handled using dry glass Hamilton syringes with oven-dried metal needles. The purity of the boronic acids is of high importance for reproducible yields and the quality was determined by 1H-NMR with internal standard. All the boronic acids used were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and were used without any purification. Unless otherwise noted, all materials were purchased from commercial suppliers and used as received. Diphenylphosphine oxide (1a) was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry, bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphine oxide (1c) and di(2-naphtyl)phosphine oxide (1f) were purchased from Fluorochem Ltd. Diethyl phosphonate (9) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.

Solvents

CH2Cl2, Et2O and MeCN were used as received. Toluene and THF were dried using a VAC-purification system. Anhydrous THF was purified prior to use by passage through a column of neutral alumina under nitrogen.

Procedures and Analysis

TLC analysis was performed on pre-coated silica gel 60 F254 plates using either UV light. The crude products were purified by flash column chromatography using 40-60 μm 60A silica gel as stationary phase or using automated flash system Teledyne ISCO CombiFlash Rf 200 with RediSep Rf columns. Melting points were measured using a STUART SMP3 and are reported uncorrected. The melting point measurements refer to the solidified materials as the result of the given experimental procedures, no additional recrystallization was done. NMR spectra were recorded using a 400 MHz Bruker AVANCE II with a BBO probe at 298 K using CDCl3, MeOD-d4 or DMSO-d6 as solvent. Chemical shifts are given in ppm relative to the residual solvent peak (1H NMR: CDCl3 δ 7.26; MeOD-d4 δ 3.31; DMSO-d6 δ 2.50; 13C NMR: CDCl3 δ 77.16; MeOD-d4 δ 49.00; DMSO-d6 δ 39.52) with multiplicity (br = broad, s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, app = apparent), coupling constants (in Hz) and integration. Full analytical data is given for compounds that are novel or not fully characterized in the literature; 1H NMR and 13C NMR are given for literature reported VBX reagents and products. The chemical shifts are reported in ppm relative to solvent peaks. The dr of compounds 6e and 6f has been determined by 31P NMR experiment as a ratio between integrals of two diastereomers.

High-resolution mass analyses were obtained using a Bruker microTOF ESI.

2 Synthesis of Iodine(III) Reagents

The synthesized iodine(III) reagents are shown in Figure S1.

The synthesis of VBX 2a and 2g-2j were obtained using our reported procedure (Section 2.1).2 The core-substituted VBX 2b-2f were synthetized using Nachtsheim’s two-step procedure (Section 2.2).3 Reagent 2k was prepared according to literature.4 Vinyliodonium salt 8 was synthetized according to the reported procedure.3 The iodosyl compounds 11 were prepared following literature procedures: 11a,3 11b,5 11b,6 11c,7 11d,5 11e,8 11f.9

2.1 One-Pot Synthesis of VBX Reagents

VBX reagents with unsubstituted benziodoxolone core were prepared by employing our reported one-pot synthesis.2 General procedure S1: 2-iodobenzoic acid (1 equiv) was added to a round bottom flask followed by CH2Cl2. mCPBA (85%, 1.1 equiv) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 0 °C followed by the addition of TfOH (1.5 equiv). The mixture was stirred at RT for 15 minutes and then cooled to 0 °C for 5 minutes. The corresponding boronic acid (1.4 equiv) was added in one portion and rinsed down with CH2Cl2 (1-5 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Saturated NaHCO3 was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously at rt for 1 h. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separation funnel, diluted with DCM and H2O. Note: dilution helped to avoid emulsions in the separation. The layers were separated the aqueous phase was extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases were washed with H2O and brine and then dried over Na2SO4. The drying agent was filtered off and the solvent was removed in vacuo. Et2O was added to the white precipitate and the mixture was stirred vigorously at RT for approx. 30 min. The solid was filtered off (glass filter funnel, porosity 3) and washed with Et2O to obtain VBX reagents.

2.2 Step-Wise Synthesis of Core-Substituted VBX

The core-substituted VBX 2b-2f were synthetized using Nachtsheim’s two-step procedure3 since our one-pot procedure is optimized for 2-iodobenzoic acid and yields of vinylbenziodoxolones with substituted iodobenzoic acids varied considerably.

General procedure S23

To a suspension of 2-iodosylbenzoic acid 11 (0.6-2.0 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry CH2Cl2 or MeCN (10-20 mL) was added TMSOTf (0.67-2.30 mmol, 1.15 equiv) dropwise over 10 min and stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Afterwards (E)-styrylboronic acid (0.67-2.30 mmol, 1.15 equiv) was added over 5 min and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at room temperature. Pyridine (1.15 equiv) was added and after further 10 min stirring the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and washed with a solution of HCl 1M. The aqueous phase was extracted three times with CH2Cl2 and the combined organic phases were washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduce pressure. The residue was dissolved in a minimum amount of CH2Cl2 and precipitate in Et2O, stirred vigorously for 30 min and stored at 4 °C for 2-16 h. The precipitate was filtered and washed with Et2O to afford the corresponding core-substituted VBX reagent.

3.4 Influence of Core-Substituted VBX with Phosphinates

Phosphinate 5a was reacted with substituted VBX reagents 2b-f to investigate electronic and steric effects. The presence of both electron donating and electron withdrawing groups had a negative effect on the reactivity (2b-c, entries 1-3). Steric effects were screened with o-substituted VBX reagents 2d-e, and o-Me VBX 2d caused a drastic loss of reactivity (entry 4), while the corresponding o-nitro reagent 2e changed the chemoselectivity to give the arylated product in 60% yield (entry 5). Such arylations were also observed in S-vinylations with nitro-substituted reagents.9 Me2-VBX 2f, which we previously reported to improve the S-vinylation yields,9 showed comparable reactivity to the unsubstituted VBX (entry 6). A control reaction with the acyclic vinyliodonium salt 8 gave only 10% yield of 6a (entry 7).
