The synergistic combination of visible-light-induced photoredox catalysis with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents (HIRs) represents a particularly important achievement in the field of hypervalent iodine chemistry, and numerous notable organic transformations were achieved in a mild and environmentally benign fashion. This account intends to summarize recent synthetic applications of HIRs in visible-light-induced photoredox catalysis, and they are organized in terms of the photochemical roles of HIRs played in reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
