A convenient method for preparing diverse o-iodoaryl triflates by the desilyliodination of o-silylaryl triflates has been developed. The treatment of o-silylaryl triflates with 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DIH) in the presence of aluminum trichloride efficiently afforded the corresponding o-iodoaryl triflates, including those with multiple 1-iodo-2-(triflyloxy)arene moieties. Various multisubstituted o-iodoaryl triflates were easily prepared by the iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of readily available, simple o-silylaryl triflates, followed by deborylative transformations and subsequent desilyliodinaton.
