Abstract Chiral hypervalent iodine reagents are active players in modern stereoselective organic synthesis. Structurally diverse chiral have been synthesised and extensively studied, but containing sulfur stereogenic centre scarce their synthesis is challenging. A small library of iodoarenes sulfinamide sulfoximine moieties has using commercially available reagents. The oxidation the iodoarene ...

The preparation of oxazolidinones by the hypervalent iodine mediated cyclization allylcarbamates is described. A versatile range substrates can be converted into substituted primed for further transformations. Derivatization products at both ends demonstrated. preliminary attempt enantioselective formation an oxazolidinone using a chiral iodane also presented.

The first chapter focuses on the introduction of iodine m ediated carbocyclisations and their applications continue to present a stim ulating challenge in targetand diversityoriented syntheses. Literature overview of m ore than past two decades about this area of research has been highlighted by including key examples along with the ir m echanistic aspects. The second chapter discusses applicat...

Althought there are several reported synthetic routes to strychnine, one of the most widely recognized alkaloids, we report an unexplored route with an oxidative dearomatizing process mediated by hypervalent iodine as the key step. The new syntheses of isostrychnine and strychnine have been achieved from an readily available phenol in nine and ten steps. In addition to the key step, these synth...
