Zhdankin* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Minnesota Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota 55812 E-mail: vzhdanki@d.umn.edu Abstract This review summarizes the synthetic applications of hypervalent iodine(V) reagents: iodylbenzene, IBX (2-iodoxybenzoic acid), DMP (Dess-Martin periodinane) and pseudocyclic IBX analogs. Application of these reagents allows mild and highly selective oxidative transformations in a facile and environmentally friendly manner.

Introduction In the past decade, the organic chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds has experienced an immense development. This growing interest in iodine compounds is due to the mild and highly chemoselective oxidizing properties of polyvalent organic iodine reagents, combined with their benign environmental character and commercial availability.
