Abstract

Hypervalent iodine compounds [1] are frequently used reagents that have found wide application in synthesis.[2] They are used in a wide range of transformations as environmentally friendly, mild, and highly selective electrophilic reagents and oxidants since their application sidesteps the issues of toxicity and the complicated ligands of many transition-metal-based systems commonly used for such processes. The drawback of ...
