Iodine in Modern Oxidation Catalysis

Abstract

This review discusses the origins of iodine-mediated oxidation catalysis and gives a comprehensive overview on this young field of research. The focus is set on oxidative C–X bond-forming reactions starting from two unfunctionalized C–H and X–H bonds. In addition, iodine-mediated oxidative domino reactions will be discussed.

1 Introduction

2 Why Iodine?
