Combined Approach of Hypervalent Iodine Reagents and Transition Metals in Organic Reactions

Abstract

AbstractThis review outlines the progress over recent years in the reactions involving combined approach of hypervalent iodine reagents and transition metals such as palladium, nickel, iridium, gold, rhodium, copper, iron, ruthenium, platinum, silver, zinc, rhenium and cobalt. This approach enables organic transformations complimentary to traditional manifolds. Hypervalent iodine reagents play a preeminent role in organic chemistry due to their versatile reactivity, heteroatom ligands and mild reaction conditions. These reagents in combination of transition metal compounds are used in many synthetically useful organic reactions such as oxidation, rearrangement, amination, halogenation, amidation, ring‐opening, cyclization and C−H and C−C functionalization reactions, etc. which are discussed here.magnified image
