title: Asymmetric hydroxylative phenol dearomatization through in situ generation of iodanes from chiral iodoarenes and m-CPBA.
abstract: 'I' is all the hype: A twofold excess of iodoarene in the title reaction leads to ortho-quinols in good yields, whereas organocatalytic versions of this reaction enable subsequent epoxidation in a regio- and diastereoselective fashion. Chiral iodobiarenes led to enantioselectivities up to 50 % ee. m-CPBA = meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid.
