Applications
Diphenyliodonium chloride is used as a reagent for electrophilic phenylation . It is used as a reactant for copper-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of purinesband arylation of anilines. It is involved in the preparation of acetylenic arylselenide and (arylmethylene)oxindoles. Further, it is employed in the preparation of aryl alkynes through Sonogashira coupling reactions.

Solubility
Soluble in water and methanol.

Notes
Light sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
