Abstract
In this Account, we provide an overview of our recent advances in oxidative transformations
that enable the introduction of nitrogen and oxygen functionalities into organic molecules
by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of iodine-based reagents, such as
hypervalency, soft Lewis acidity, high leaving ability, and radical reactivity. We
also report on the development of new types of hypervalent iodine reagents containing
a transferable nitrogen functional group with the objective of preparing primary amines,
which is described in the latter part of this Account.
