16. We reported previously an iodination reaction of phenylalanine in peptides that showed unusual ortho selectivity: G. Espuña, G. Arsequell, G. Valencia, J. Barluenga, J. M. Alvarez-Gutiérrez, A. Ballesteros, J. M. González, Angew. Chem. 2004, 116, 329-333;

18. We speculated that lipophilic groups capable of establishing dipolar contacts with iodonium ions could favor selective ortho iodination. Also, the incorporation and removal of this controlling unit must be simple. For a recent review on organofluorine compounds, see: M. Shimizu, T. Hiyama, Angew. Chem. 2005, 117, 218-234;

20. This selectivity is in sharp contrast to that observed in previous aromatic iodinations with this reagent: a) T. Shimada, M. Suda, T. Nagano, K. Kakiuchi, J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 10178-10181;

23. Compound o-2c was formed as single enantiomer by the iodination of (S)-1c. Its stereochemical integrity was confirmed by HPLC on a chiral phase, by comparison with a sample of racemic o-2c.
