We proposed a new simple method for preparation of new dibenziodonoium salts via oxidation of 2-iodobiphenyl in the presence of appropriate acids followed by ligand exchange on the next step. [O]=mCPBA, Oxone; H+A-= H2SO4, HOTf, HNTf2; X = -SCN, -N3, -CN, -OH, -Cl, -Br, -OSOPh The structure of obtained compounds was investigated by X-Ray study. Obtained dibenziodonium salts derivatives could be applied as new reagents for transfer of nucleophilic functional groups in organic synthesis. References [1] Zhu D., Liu Q., Luo D. et al. Adv.
