28. 2O (30 mL) was added the iodonium iodide (3.6 g, 7.9 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for several hours. After removal of the insoluble material by filtration, the solution was concentrated below 30°C under reduced pressure (<5 Torr). The residue was diluted with 8 mL of MeCN and crystallized at 0°C to give NPIF (1, 1.80 g first crop, 0.33 g second crop; total 2.13 g, 78%).
