This review provides a comprehensive overview of strategies and methodologies for reducing CÀ O and heteroatomicÀ oxygen bonds (NÀ O, SÀ O, PÀ O) using I 2 /I À , as well as other synthetically relevant bonds such as CÀ C, NÀ N, CÀ N, CÀ X, CÀ S. It highlights and discusses most of the mechanistic details provided by the original authors. Selected examples of other halides (Br and Cl) as reductants are also covered.
