The preparation, structure, and chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds are reviewed
with emphasis on their synthetic application. Compounds of iodine possess reactivity similar …

The chemistry of hypervalent iodine reagents has now become quite valuable due to the
reactivity of these compounds under mild reaction conditions and their resemblance in …

We present protocols for the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes and for the oxidative
cyclization of diols which use a combination of Selectfluor and NaBr. For most substrates …

[RuCl2 (p-cymene)] 2 in a mixture of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG-400) and water is shown to
be an extremely efficient catalyst for the cross-dehydrogenative C–H bond alkenylation …

Hypervalent iodine (III and V) compounds exhibit positional isomerization through
pseudorotation or twisting; the latter have been invoked for the stability as well as the …

IBX is an indispensable reagent in contemporary organic oxidation chemistry, despite its
explosive and insoluble attributes. The latter drawbacks can be overcome if a more reactive …

Air-stable iron carbonyl compounds bearing cyclopentadienone ligands with varying
substitution were explored as catalysts in dehydrogenative diol lactonization reactions using …

An iodoxybenzoic acid-mediated selected oxidative cyclization of N-hydroxyalkyl enamines
was developed. Through this strategy, a variety of 2, 3-disubstituted pyrroles and pyridines …

In contrast to the widely studied asymmetric bioreduction of α, β‐unsaturated carboxylic acid
esters catalyzed by ene‐reductases, the reaction applied to lactones remains unexplored. A …

o-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) is an oxidation reagent that has surged into prominence in the
last two decades. It is cost-effective, environmentally benign, and readily prepared from o …
