[N-(p-Toluenesulfonyl)imino]-phenyliodinane (PhINTs) is an increasingly important reagent used as a nitrene source in reactions such as alkene aziridinations, C-H insertion reactions, and heteroatom iminations. However, its use is hindered by inherent problems in the known preparations, which cause poor yields and reproducibility, and potential safety concerns. A procedure has been developed for the safe, simple, and reliable synthesis of PhINTs, and this procedure has been applied to the preparation of other iodoimines. The compounds were analyzed by solid-state NMR.
