Hypervalent iodine compounds are privileged reagents in organic synthesis because of their
exceptional reactivity. Among these compounds, cyclic derivatives stand apart because of …

Evolution in the field of the total synthesis of natural products has led to exciting
developments over the last decade. Numerous chemoselective and enantioselective …

Starting from the early 1990s, the chemistry of polyvalent iodine organic compounds has
experienced an explosive development. This surging interest in iodine compounds is mainly …

The richness of the chemistry of phenols is quite remarkable when one realizes that it is
simply the presence of a hydroxy group on a benzene ring that renders this otherwise quasi …

A single transition state may lead to multiple intermediates or products if there is a post‐
transition‐state reaction pathway bifurcation. These bifurcations arise when there are …

The enantioselective oxidative dearomatization of phenols and their analogues is a key
reaction for the synthesis of several natural products.[1] Conventionally, enantioselective …

In the last decades, hypervalent iodine reagents have raised from chemical curiosities to
mainstream reagents in organic synthesis. The use of benziodoxole-derived reagents has …

Since its discovery by Christoph Hartmann and Victor Meyer in 1893, 2‐iodoxybenzoic acid
(IBX) has emerged as a rather ubiquitous oxidant for organic synthesis. The past decade …

Nidulaxanthone A is a dimeric, dihydroxanthone natural product that was isolated in 2020
from Aspergillus sp. Structurally, the compound features an unprecedented heptacyclic …

Abstract′ I′ is all the hype: A twofold excess of iodoarene in the title reaction leads to ortho‐
quinols in good yields, whereas organocatalytic versions of this reaction enable subsequent …
