Abstract

Hypervalent iodine chemistry is currently a field of intense development.[1] Thanks to the variety of possible derivatives, iodonium salts have proven to be useful and versatile reagents in organic synthesis.[2] Whereas most investigations focus on electrophilic arylation and alkenylation, homolytic reduction of iodonium salts has rarely been examined. Such transformations have typically been accomplished either by electrochemical or ...
