Iodine-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions utilizing c-h and x-h as nucleophiles

Abstract

In recent decades, iodine-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions utilizing C-H and X-H as nucleophiles have received considerable attention because they represent more efficient, greener, more atom-economical, and milder bond-formation strategies over transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions. This Focus Review gives a brief summary of recent development on iodine-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions utilizing C-H and X-H as nucleophiles.
