Article Abstract
Hypervalent iodine(III) chemistry has unlocked remarkable potential in synthetic and catalytic applications over the past decades, yet its development has been constrained by biased thermodynamics between iodine(I) and iodine(III) species, relying on unstable or environmentally unfriendly oxidants and complex electrocatalytic platforms. Here, structurally constrained cyclic (diacyloxyiodo)arenes are presented as a transformative platform to resolve the reactivity/selectivity-generality paradox, enabling one-pot synthesis of diverse hypervalent iodine(III) reagents. The synthetic utility and sustainability of the in situ controlled-release approach are demonstrated through catalytic reactions, asymmetric variations, and biocompatibility studies, including peptide modifications. Central to this success is the discovery of cyclic (diacyloxyiodo)arenes-a previously unexplored chemical entity. DFT calculations reveal that spatial dianion control via intramolecular secondary bonding enhances reactivity and selectivity while delivering superior outcomes.

We describe a new Cu-catalyzed electrophilic amination of rapidly prepared, air-stable polyfunctional organozinc compounds using hypervalent iodine reagents bearing transferable aryl/alkyl amines. A wide range of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl amines were prepared. The mechanism of the reaction was investigated using density functional theory calculations.

The first C-bound ortho-carborane (oCb) supported hypervalent iodine(III) -IL type species are reported in RoCb-IL, for L = F and OTf, including two structurally verified -IF examples. Initial synthetic observations and supporting theoretical calculations suggest that the new oCb-IL type compounds will be more reactive than any known Ar-IL compound. This is exemplified by a previously unobserved oxidative demethylation of trimethylsilyl fluoride, suggesting that many substrates unreactive toward Ar-IL could be susceptible to oxidation by oCb-IL.

We report here a concise and regioselective synthesis of benzofulvene derivatives via an iodine(III)-mediated cyclization cascade of diynes. For 1,2-dialkynylbenzene substrates, the iodanylative cyclization is accompanied by triflation or fluorination, depending on the iodine(III) reagent, affording stereodefined benzofulvene derivatives. In contrast, the reaction of 1,6-diyne substrates is terminated by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization to deliver fused benzofulvene frameworks.

Trifluorovinyl group is an emerging and valuable motif in drug discovery and material science, especially in polymer-related researches. However, the practical and efficient synthesis of trifluorovinylated compounds with broad structural diversity still remains a challenging task. Herein, we report the scalable synthesis of a trifluorovinyl hypervalent iodine(III) reagent, ArI(CF ═ CF)OTf (TrFVI), from a bulk chemical, HFC-134a.

A gold-catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) cross-coupling reaction between hypervalent iodine(III) reagents and boronic acids has been developed, enabling the efficient synthesis of alkyne derivatives. This methodology features a broad substrate scope and high functional-group tolerance, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions without requiring external bases. Notably, the reaction is scalable to the gram level, and the resulting alkyne products can be readily transformed into structurally diverse derivatives.
