Iodine and DMSO as Surrogate of Hazardous Metal and Non‐Metal Reagents in Organic Synthesis

Abstract

AbstractOrganic synthesis involves the production of important chemical structures using scalable and cost‐effective methods that are also environmentally friendly. In this review, a detailed analysis of the use of iodine and DMSO in various synthetic routes for the preparation of valuable targets are presented. These methods reduce the acceptance on expensive additives and reagents, and offer a more sustainable solution for the synthesis of these important chemical scaffolds.
