The book highlights the benign aspects of iodine catalysis as an alternative to conventional transition metal catalysis. It summarizes catalytic transformations of molecular iodine and iodine compounds, e.g. hypervalent organoiodine(III), and inorganic iodine salts. The first chapter outlines the nature of iodine catalysis. It discusses the general conceptual background within the context of homogeneous (oxidation) catalysis and describes the benefits of iodine catalysis in comparison to transition metals. The individual chapters are structured by reaction type (e.g. dearomatization, C-H functionalization), highlight enantioselective transformations and case studies / industrial applications where applicable. Chapters on catalytic reactions involving iodine(III/V) catalyst states, aspects of oxidation in iodine(I/III) and iodine(III/V) catalyses, as well as catalytic reactions based on halogen-bonding involving iodine centres are also included. Aimed at stimulating further academic and industrial research in the field, the book is a useful source of information for any synthetic chemist interested in developing innovative and environmentally benign organic reactions.
