Abstract

In recent times, several advancements were made in using catalytic amounts of iodine in combination with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as co-oxidant. The increased utility is mainly due to its inexpensive, environmentally benign nature, good efficiency and compatibility to work in place of rare or toxic heavy metal oxidants.[1] The I2/TBHP catalytic system works efficiently for numerous C–C and C–X (X = heteroatom) bond-forming organic transformations under mild reaction conditions to offer the desired products in excellent yields.[2]
