Background and Introduction n Iodine is most commonly in monovalent compounds with an oxidation state of -1, however, because it is the largest, most polarizable, and most electropositive of the group 17 elements, it also forms stable polycoordinate, multivalent compounds. n First polyvalent organic iodine complex, (dichloroiodo)benzene or PhICl2, was prepared was by German chemist C. Willgerodt in 1886. Although it's oxidizing properties were known since 1893, a renaissance in the field of polyvalent iodine has occured only in the past 20 years. n Factors leading to resurgence of interest:
(1) Chemical properties and reactivity is similiar to the heavy metal reagents such as Hg(III), Tl(III), Pb(IV) but without the toxicity & environmental issues. (2) Mild reaction conditions and easy handling of hypervalent iodine compounds (3) Commericial availaiblity of key precursors such as PhI(OAc)2. n Topics to be covered in this talk:

Selected Applications in Total Synthesis n Topics that are NOT covered in this talk: Transition Metal Mediated Reactions and Polymer Supported Reagents Nomenclature for Hypervalent Iodine n The term hypervalent was established in 1969 for molecules with elements of groups 15-18 bearing more electrons than an octet in their valence shell.
3 5 n IUPAC rules designate l as non-standard bonding; thus, H3I is l -iodane and H5I is l -iodane. 3 Most common decet structure is aryl-l -iodane ArIL2 (L = heteroatom) and for dodecet 5 structure is aryl-l -iodane ArIL4. n Polyvalent Iodine species differ in Martin-Arduengo designation [N-X-L] where N = # of valence electrons on central atom, X = central atom, L = # of ligands on central atom.

Onium salts (such as ammonium, phosphonium,oxonium, etc.) refers to a tetrahedral geometry with an octet in the valence shell of a positively charged atom and are not hypervalent compounds. Also, X-ray structural data of iodine(III) compounds with a coordination of 2 (as in iodonium salts) have never been observed.
Classes of Hypervalent Iodine n Traditional classification is based on the # of carbon ligands on central iodine.
For Iodinanes 1C-bond: Iodosyl/ Iodoso compounds (RIO) and their derivatives (RIX2, where X = non-carbon ligands and R = aryl or CF ) + - 3 2 C-bonds: Iodonium salts (R2I X ) 3 C-bonds: (Iodanes with 3 C-I bonds are thermally unstable and not synthetically useful)
For Periodinanes 1C-bond: Iodyl/ Iodoxy compounds (RIO ) and their derivatives (RIX or RIX O) + - 2 4 2 2 C-bonds: Iodyl salts (R2IO X ) n Compounds with more than one formal carbon bond to iodine: Alkenyliodonium (PhI+C=CHR X-) and Alkynyliodonium (PhI+C≡CR X-) Salts
Iodonium Ylides (PhI=CXY, where X, Y = electron acceptors) where: XO Z = CO; X = H, Me, Ac, t-Bu, n Cyclic Iodinanes: I SO2R, PO(OPh)2 Z = SO ; X = H O 2 3 Z = CMe2 or C(CF3)2; X = H, NO2 l -Iodinanes: Benziodoxazoles based on o-iodosobenzoic acid. Z Z = P(O)Me or P(O)OH; X = H Z = I(OAc); X = Ac Z = C=NH2+; X = OTs l5-Iodinanes: Benziodoxazoles based on o-iodoxybenzoic acid. (ie. IBX and Dess-Martin Reagent)

Physical Aspects of l3-Iodanes n Most hypervalent iodine reagents are solid (amorphous or crystalline) and are stable to atmospheric oxygen and moisture. Certain iodonuim salts are less stable and should be generated in situ. A mild + - explosion will occur if heated in the absence of solvent for PhI(OMe)2, PhIO, PhIO2, (PhI )2O 2BF4 , and o-iodylbenzoic acid. n In the solid state: Iodosylbenzene and (tosyliminoiodo)benzene are polymeric structures terminated by water: HO(PhIO)nH. Monomeric species are generated in reactive solvents. Secondary I-O bonds are also observed and result in macrocyclic structures. OH Ph I 2.3 < pH OH Ts Ts o 2 A Ph Ph Ph Ph 37 O O O N N 2. I I * 2.

Alkenyl-l3-iodanes exist in equilibrium as an iodonium ion and as a halogen-bridged dimeric and aggregate structures. n-C8H17 Ph n-C8H17 n-C8H17 Br I Kdissoc Kassoc + Br Br Ph Br Ph I I I Ph S Br n-C8H17 General Reactivity of Hypervalent Iodine n Hypervalent iodine chemistry is based on the strongly electrophilic nature of the iodine making it suseptible to nucleophilic attack, in combination with the leaving group ability of phenyliodonio group -IPhX (~106 times greater than triflate!!!). The favorable reduction of the hypervalent iodide to normal valency by reductive elimination of iodobenzene is the key to its reactivity. n Organo-l3-iodanes have reactivity based on the number of carbon and heteroatom ligands. They generally fit in two classes:
(1) RIL2: Majority of reactions fit under this category. Performs oxidation of various functional groups. The two heteroatoms occupying the apical sites of the pseudotrigonal bipyramid are essential- one is used in ligand exchange and the other in reductive elimination.
