Reactions of Diorganoiodine III Reagents

In the following sections, reactions involving diaryl-, alkynyl(aryl)- and alkenyl(aryl)iodine(III) reagents are addressed separately. However, reactivities in 

A number of mechanisms have been proposed for the arylation of nucleophiles by diaryliodine(III) reagents including radical coupling processes, nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SArAr) and ligand coupling on iodine(III). It is now thought 

The reaction of diaryliodine(III) reagents with neutral nucleophiles is less well understood but has been postulated by Finet to proceed via the formation of a 

Whereas amine nucleophiles do not readily undergo arylation with reagents 1 under polar conditions, palladium catalysis has been shown to effectively catalyse arylation of secondary amines in the presence of strong bases. An emerging strategy involves Pd(0) and Cu(I) co-catalysed cross coupling of reagents 1 with 

The chemistry of alkynyl(aryl)iodine(III) reagents 2 has been largely developed over the last 20 years and is the subject of a number of reviews. The
