Iodinations, using iodine reagents

Various compounds of the type RAt, RAtCl2, R2AtCl and RAt02 (R = phenyl or p-tolyl) have been synthesized using astatine-labelled iodine reagents, e.g. ... 

Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds using hypervalent iodine reagents 98AHC(69)1. 

In recent years, a variety of hypervalent iodine reagents have been available. The versatility of these hypervalent organoiodine reagents in organic synthesis has been well recognized. Diaryliodonium salts constitute an important reagent class for the transfer of aryl groups. These iodonium ion salts have been used effectively in C-arylation of a variety of nucleopohiles.112 The arylation of the anion of nitroalkanes with diaryliodonium salts was already reported in 1963.113... 

Several organohypervalent iodine reagents have been used for the oxidation of alcohols and phenols such as iodoxybenzene, o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX), bis(trifluoroa-cetoxy)iodobenzene (BTI), and Dess-Martin periodinane etc. But the use of inexpensive iodobenzene diacetate (IBD) as an oxidant, however, has not been fully exploited. Most of these reactions are conducted in high boiling DMSO or toxic acetonitrile media that results in increased burden on the environment. 

Reduction to Halocarbons. The best conditions for the reductive chlorination of ketones use the reagent combination Me2ClSiH/In(OH)3 (Eq. 241).331 Examples include conversions of aryl ketones to benzyl chlorides, ethynyl ketones to propargyl chlorides, and alkyl ketones to alkyl chlorides (Eq. 242).331 Addition of lithium iodide to the reaction mixture yields the corresponding iodide product. The combination of TMDO/I2 reductively iodinates aryl ketones and aldehydes in good yields (Eq. 243).357... 

Scheme 2.4 Polymer-supported oxidations using a hypervalent iodine reagent. 

Syntheses of heterocyclic compounds that are dealt with in this review are achieved either by cyclization of open-chain substrates under the action of organohypervalent iodine reagents or by carrying out several sequential transformations of substrate heterocyclic compounds using these reagents to obtain new heterocyclic derivatives. In this section, we cover the first strategy, leaving the second one for Section III. An area that is not covered... 

Besides iodonium ylides, alkynyliodonium salts are also useful in heterocyclic synthesis. These salts are obtained from the reaction of the alkynes with an appropriate organohypervalent iodine reagent (Scheme... 

Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds Using Organohypervalent Iodine Reagents... 

Volume 69 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry consists of six contributions. The opening chapter, by Professor R. M. Moriarty and Dr. O. M. Prakash of the University of Illinois at Chicago, summarizes the use of organohypervalent iodine reagents in the synthesis of organic compounds, a subject of increasing importance and one for which no general review has as yet appeared. 

Thieno benzazepine 109 was synthesized in moderate yield by oxidative biaryl-coupling using the hypervalent iodine reagent phenyliodine(lll)bis (trifluoroacetate) (FIFA) and BF3 OEt2 as the activating agent in methylene chloride (Equation (16) (2002X8581)). 

Effective synthesis of spiroisoxazoline derivatives was elaborated using hypervalent iodine reagents. Thus, treatment of o-phenolic oximes 217 with phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA) in MeCN at 0°C afforded spiroisoxazoUnes 218 in moderate yields (equation 94) . Oximes 219, prepared in situ from 2-trifluoromethylchromones, in the acidic media also led to spiroisoxazoUnes 220 (equation 95) . ... 

Common alcohol oxidation methods employ stoichiometric amounts of toxic and reactive oxidants like Cr03, hypervalent iodine reagents (Dess-Martin) and peracids that pose severe safety and environmental hazards in large-scale industrial reactions. Therefore, a variety of catalytic methods for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes, ketones or carboxylic acids have been developed employing hydrogen peroxide or alkyl hydroperoxides as stoichiometric oxygen sources in the presence of catalytic amounts of a metal catalyst. The commonly used catalysts for alcohol oxidation are different MoAV(VI), Mn(II), Cr(VI), Re(Vn), Fe(II) and Ru complexes . A selection of published known alcohol oxidations with different catalysts will be presented here.
