Abstract

The first catalytic version of hypervalent aryl-λ3-iodane-induced Hofmann rearrangement of primary carboxamides, which probably involves in situ generation of a tetracoordinated bis (aqua)(hydroxy) phenyl-λ3-iodane complex as an active oxidant from a catalytic amount of iodobenzene by the reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in the presence of HBF4 in dichloromethane–water under mild conditions, was developed.
