All articles of this category Hypervalent iodine compounds, especially (diacetoxyiodo)arenes, have been used for the generation of (a) carbon-centered radicals through the decarboxylation of carboxylic acids or the β -cleavage of alcohols, (b) oxygen-centered radicals from alcohols, hemi-acetals, or carboxylic acids, (c) nitrogen-centered radicals from amine derivatives. The radicals were employed for β -fragmentation, oxidative addition and substitution, Barton-type reactions, Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag-type reactions, and reductive addition reactions, and successfully used for functional group transformation, formation of new skeletons and synthesis of natural products. hypervalent iodine compounds - carbon-centered radicals - oxygen-centered radicals - nitrogen-centered radicals
