Abstract: Easy, cheap, safe and effective preparative procedures to obtain symmetrical diaryliodonium bromides (in 15-88% crude yields) from various arenes are presented in this paper. A novel method for preparing iodosyl sulfate (Chrétien’s reagent) is given. Several crude diaryliodonium bromides were readily oxidatively metathesized with 30% aq. H2O2 and 40% aq. HBF4 (in acetone, used both as a solvent and “halogen scavenger”) to give pure diaryliodonium tetrafluoroborates in 64-85% yields.
