A set of hybrid P-stereogenic phosphine-diamidophosphite ligands based on the Betti base backbone has been synthesized. The ligands possess five chiral centers including the P-chirality in both the phosphorus atoms....

Diaryliodonium salts are used in organic chemistry, materials science and pharmaceutical chemistry. For the quantitative analysis of diaryliodonium salts, only instrumentally demanding techniques requiring highly skilled operators are available. Surprisingly, no titration method taking advantage of the oxidising ability of diaryliodonium is available in the literature. In the present work, a titration method for the determination of diaryliodonium salts is presented. It is based on the reaction of diaryliodonium species with ascorbic acid, whose excess is subsequently determined by means of iodometric potentiometric titration. Application of the protocol to various diaryliodonium salts revealed the scope and limitations of the method.
