PhI(OTf)2 has been used for the past 30 years as a strong I(III) oxidant for organic and inorganic transformations. It has been reported to be generated in situ from the reactions of either PhI(OAc)2 or PhI=O with two equivalents of TMS-OTf. In this report it is shown that neither of these reactions generate a solution with spectroscopic data consistent with PhI(OTf)2 and thus this compound should not be invoked as the species acting as the oxidant for transformations that have been associated with its use

PhI（OTf）2不存在（尚未）

PhI（OTf）2在过去30年中一直用作有机和无机转化的强I（III）氧化剂。据报道，它是由PhI（OAc）2或PhI = O与两当量TMS-OTf的反应原位生成的。在该报告中表明，这些反应均未产生具有与PhI（OTf）2一致的光谱数据的溶液，因此不应调用该化合物，因为该物质充当了与其使用相关的转化的氧化剂
