Abstract
Abstract Oxidation of alcohols and amines is one of the central reactions in synthetic organic chemistry. Traditionally, highly toxic heavy metal oxidants have been used for these fundamental reactions. Transition metal‐catalyzed oxidation reactions have been extensively investigated, particularly since gaseous oxygen could be used as a stoichiometric oxidant. Nevertheless, more environmentally benign catalytic and chemoselective oxidation methods such as organocatalysis are needed, especially in pharmaceutical industry. Over the past three decades, hypervalent iodine compounds have been the focus of a great attention due to their mild and chemoselective oxidizing properties and their environmentally benign character. This chapter focuses on the design of hypervalent iodine compound reagents or catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols and amine derivatives.
