Introduction Over the last 20 years, high valent metal complexes have transitioned from mere curiosities to being at the forefront of modern catalytic method development. This approach has enabled transformations complimentary to those possible via traditional manifolds, most prominently carbon-heteroatom bond formation. Key to the advancement of this chemistry has been the identification of oxidants that are capable of accessing these high oxidation state complexes. The oxidant has to be both powerful enough to achieve the desired oxidation as well as provide heteroatom ligands for transfer to the metal center; these heteroatoms are often subsequently transferred to the substrate via reductive elimination. The choice of heteroatom can be critical depending on the application. For example, chloride ligands can aide in the stabilization and isolation of high valent complexes whereas acetate ligands are often more successful in catalytic manifolds. Hypervalent iodine reagents have seen wide application in this field as they are environmentally benign, non-toxic, and relatively inexpensive compared to other inorganic oxidants. Furthermore, they provide an excellent balance of versatile reactivity, heteroatom ligands, and mild reaction conditions. We will cover advancements in the use of hypervalent iodine reagents for both catalysis and high valent complex isolation with a key focus on the subtle effects that oxidant choice can have on reaction outcome, as well as limitations of current reagents. Many of these areas have been covered in the context of more broad reviews and in those cases the discussion will not be comprehensive but focus on the key aspects and most relevant elements for this review.
