Abstract
PhI(OCOCF3)2 acts as both a nonmetal oxidant and an iodination reagent to trigger iodocyclization of N-arylpropynamides while selectively affording iodinated quinolin-2-ones or the spiro[4,5]trienone skeleton, depending on the substituent pattern. In cases where the N-arylpropynamide bears a para-fluorine on the aniline ring, the spiro compound is formed via an exclusive defluorination process; otherwise, the product was quinolin-2-one.
