Book Synopsis
Iodine Catalysis in Organic Synthesis

The first book of its kind to highlight iodine as a sustainable alternative to conventional transition metal catalysis

Iodine Catalysis in Organic Synthesis provides detailed coverage of recent advances in iodine chemistry and catalysis, focusing on the utilization of various iodine-containing compounds as oxidative catalysts. Featuring contributions by an international panel of leading research chemists, this authoritative volume explores the development of environmentally benign organic reactions and summarizes catalytic transformations of molecular iodine and iodine compounds such as hypervalent organoiodine and inorganic iodine salts.

Readers are first introduced to the history of iodine chemistry, the conceptual background of homogeneous catalysis, and the benefits of iodine catalysis in comparison with transition metals. Next, chapters organized by reaction type examine enantioselective transformations, catalytic reactions involving iodine, catalyst states, oxidation in iodine and iodine catalyses, and catalytic reactions based on halogen bonding. Practical case studies and real-world examples of different applications in organic synthesis and industry are incorporated throughout the text. An invaluable guide for synthetic chemists in both academic and industrial laboratories, Iodine Catalysis in Organic Synthesis:

  • Provides a thorough overview of typical iodine-catalyzed reactions, catalyst systems, structures, and reactivity
  • Explores promising industrial applications of iodine-based reagents for organic synthesis
  • Highlights the advantages iodine catalysis has over classical metal-catalyzed reactions
  • Discusses sustainable and eco-friendly methods in hypervalent iodine chemistry

Edited by two world authorities on the catalytic applications of organoiodine compounds, Iodine Catalysis in Organic Synthesis is required reading for catalytic, organic, and organometallic chemists, medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists, industrial chemists, and academic researchers and advanced students in relevant fields.
