Abstract

The unique reactivity of diaryliodonium salts with copper complexes has been applied to a variety of synthetic organic transformations. These hypervalent iodine compounds have been used for diverse copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions including C–H functionalizations, enantioselective C–C bond formation, cascade reactions and different heteroatom arylation processes. This review provides a summary of recent developments on this topic and discusses both the synthetic utility and mechanisms of these transformations.
