Title: Synthesis of Oxazoline and Oxazole Derivatives by Hypervalent-Iodine-Mediated Oxidative Cycloaddition Reactions
Organohypervalent iodine reagents are widely used for the preparation of various oxazolines, oxazoles, isoxazolines, and isoxazoles. In the formation of these heterocyclic compounds, hypervalent iodine species can serve as the activating reagents for various substrates, as well as the heteroatom donor reagents. In recent research, both chemical and electrochemical approaches toward generation of hypervalent iodine species have been utilized. The in situ generated active species can react with appropriate substrates to give the corresponding heterocyclic products. In this short review, we summarize the hypervalent-iodine­-mediated preparation of oxazolines, oxazoles, isoxazolines, and isoxazoles starting from various substrates. 1 Introduction 2 Synthesis of Oxazolines 3 Synthesis of Oxazoles 4 Synthesis of Isoxazolines 5 Synthesis of Isoxazoles 6 Conclusion  more » « less

  1. Abstract Hypervalent iodine compounds have found broad application in modern organic chemistry as reagents and catalysts. Cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents based on the benziodoxole heterocyclic system have higher stability compared to their acyclic analogues, which makes possible the preparation and safe handling of the reagents with special ligands such as azido, cyano, and trifluoromethyl groups. Numerous iodine‐substituted benziodoxole derivatives have been prepared and utilized as reagents for transfer of the substituent on hypervalent iodine to organic substrate. Reactions of these reagents with organic substrates can be performed under metal‐free conditions, in the presence of transition metal catalysts, or using photocatalysts under photoirradiation conditions. In this review, we focus on the most recent synthetic applications of cyclic hypervalent iodine(III) reagents with the following ligands: N3, NHR, CN, CF3, SCF3, OR, OAc, ONO2, and C(=N2)CO2R. The review covers literature published mainly in the last 5 years.

    Hypervalent iodine compounds are a widely used class of metal-free oxidants that find application in organic synthesis. Due to the homology between the reactivity of hypervalent iodine and many transition metals ¾ oxidative addition, ligand exchange, and reductive elimination can be facile for both ¾ hypervalent iodine species find application in a variety of synthetically important organic transformations. Major limitations of these reagents include the frequent need for (super)stoichiometric loading and the intrinsically poor atom economy that results from the generation of stoichiometric quantities of iodoarene byproducts. In addition, hypervalent iodine reagents are often synthesized using metal-based terminal oxidants, which compound the resulting waste stream. Recently, substantial progress has been made to address these limitations. Here, we discuss progress towards sustainable synthetic methods for the preparation of hypervalent iodine compounds and application of those methods in the context of hypervalent iodine catalysis. The discussion is organized according to the active oxygen content, and thus atom economy, of the terminal oxidant employed. Hypervalent iodine electrochemistry and the development of recyclable iodoarenes are also discussed.

  3. Abstract Hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagents have gained much attention as versatile oxidants because of their low toxicity, mild reactivity, easy handling, and availability. Despite their unique reactivity and other advantageous properties, stoichiometric HVI reagents are associated with the disadvantage of generating non-recyclable iodoarenes as waste/co-products. To overcome these drawbacks, the syntheses and utilization of various recyclable hypervalent iodine reagents have been established in recent years. This review summarizes the development of various recyclable non-polymeric, polymer-supported, ionic-liquid-supported, and metal–organic framework (MOF)-hybridized HVI reagents. 1 Introduction 2 Polymer-Supported Hypervalent Iodine Reagents 2.1 Polymer-Supported Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents 2.2 Polymer-Supported Hypervalent Iodine(V) Reagents 3 Non-Polymeric Recyclable Hypervalent Iodine Reagents 3.1 Non-Polymeric Recyclable Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents 3.2 Recyclable Non-Polymeric Hypervalent Iodine(V) Reagents 3.3 Fluorous Hypervalent Iodine Reagents 4 Ionic-Liquid/Ion-Supported Hypervalent Iodine Reagents 5 Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)-Hybridized Hypervalent Iodine Reagents 6 Conclusion

  4. Abstract Organic azides have found wide application in various fields of science and technology. This review summarizes recently developed approaches to the direct, one‐step synthesis of diverse organic azides utilizing hypervalent iodine reagents. The first part of review deals with the azidation using unstable azidoiodinanes generatedin situfrom common hypervalent iodine reagents (such as diacetoxyiodobenzene or iodosylbenzene) and a source of azide anion (TMSN3or NaN3). The second part of review is dedicated to the application of stable azidobenziodoxoles as useful azidating reagents that allow selective direct azidation of C−H bonds or double carbon‐carbon bonds under mild reaction conditions. The use of azidobenziodoxoles eliminates the main disadvantages of the traditional approaches to organic azides, such as the need in pre‐functionalization of organic substrates and harsh reaction conditions. Synthetic application of azidobenziodoxoles made possible direct selective azidation of a plethora of organic substrates including complex molecules at the late synthetic stage.

  5. Hypervalent iodine reagents are in high current demand due to their exceptional reactivity in oxidative transformations, as well as in diverse umpolung functionalization reactions. Cyclic hypervalent iodine compounds, known under the general name of benziodoxoles, possess improved thermal stability and synthetic versatility in comparison with their acyclic analogs. Aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkynylbenziodoxoles have recently received wide synthetic applications as efficient reagents for direct arylation, alkenylation, and alkynylation under mild reaction conditions, including transition metal-free conditions as well as photoredox and transition metal catalysis. Using these reagents, a plethora of valuable, hard-to-reach, and structurally diverse complex products can be synthesized by convenient procedures. The review covers the main aspects of the chemistry of benziodoxole-based aryl-, alkynyl-, and alkenyl- transfer reagents, including preparation and synthetic applications.
