Abstract

Zwitterionic iodonium compounds (ZIC), a major class of polyvalent iodine compounds, are attractive and versatile reagents in organic synthesis. Koser has reviewed the early chemistry of this class, l and Varvoglis2 has thoroughly reviewed the chemistry of ZIC up to 1991. ZIC react with both electrophiles and nucleophiles, give rise to carbenes, afford transylidation and rearrangement products, and have oxidative properties. One of the ...
