A decade of lessons in the activation of ArIL2 species

Abstract

Hypervalent iodine(III) compounds of the general structure ArIL2 are widely used as oxidizing agents for a variety of applications across both organic and inorganic chemistry. Considerable work has been done on the activation of these compounds by tuning the ligands at the iodine centre. This perspective summarises the work of our and other groups on rectification of historically misidentified iodine(III) reagents of this class, and the syntheses of activated species. Recent advances focusing on increasing the oxidative capacity of I(III) moieties using Lewis and Brønsted acids and Lewis bases as well as the activation of halogens with I(III) are discussed.
