This review discusses the origins of iodine-mediated oxidation catalysis and gives a comprehensive overview on this young field of research. The focus is set on oxidative C–X bond-forming reactions starting from two unfunctionalized C–H and X–H bonds. In addition, iodine-mediated oxidative domino reactions will be discussed. 1 Introduction 2 Why Iodine? 3 C–N Bond Formations 3.1 Aziridinations 3.2 Oxidative Aminations of Heteroarenes 3.3 Oxidative Aminations of sp³ C–H Bonds 3.4 Oxidative Amidations and Esterifications 4 C–O and C–S Bond Formations 5 C–C Bond Formations 6 Simple Oxidations of Functional Groups 7 Oxidative Domino Reactions 8 Conclusion
