title: IBX-I2 redox couple for facile generation of IOH and I+: expedient protocol for iodohydroxylation of olefins and iodination of aromatics.
abstract: IBX is readily reduced to IBA in the presence of molecular iodine in DMSO to generate hypoiodous acid (IOH), which reacts with a variety of olefins as well as alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones leading to their respective iodohydrins with anti stereochemistry. The same redox chemistry in acetonitrile containing TFA produces iodonium ions for facile iodination of a variety of aromatic compounds in respectable isolated yields.
