iodineIII
Iodine(III), here referred to as iodineIII, designates compounds in which iodine is in the +3 oxidation state. These species are a subset of hypervalent iodine reagents and are valued in organic synthesis for their relatively mild, chemoselective oxidizing power and their ability to transfer oxygen or other groups to substrates.
Prominent iodine(III) reagents include iodosylbenzene (PhIO), phenyliodine diacetate (PhI(OAc)2, often abbreviated PIDA), and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PhI(OC(O)CF3)2,
Applications of iodineIII reagents span a wide range of oxidative transformations in organic synthesis. They can
Safety and handling considerations are important. Iodine(III) reagents are strong oxidants and can be moisture-sensitive or
