New open-chain and water-soluble hypervalent iodine reagents were synthesized and used for the transfer of fluoroalkyl groups to sulfur atoms of cysteine and cysteine-containing peptides under biocompatible conditions. Some of the reagents displayed excellent reactivity despite their limited stability in aqueous media. In reactions with a short cysteine-containing peptide, in addition to the expected S-fluoroalkylated product, a range of side-products were obtained. The amount of side-products depended on the conditions used (type of reagent, concentration, and pH). With highly activated hypervalent iodine reagents, a new reactive mode was observed - reaction with disulfides to form fluoroalkyl thiols.

We have developed transition-metal-free synthetic methodologies for dibenzoxazepinones utilizing salicylamides as starting materials and employing two distinct types of successive hypervalent iodine-mediated arylocyclizations. This synthetic protocol encompasses selective phenol -arylation of salicylamides with diaryliodonium salts, followed by electrophilic aromatic amination utilizing chemically or electronically generated hypervalent iodine reagents in the second stage of the process.

The 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzamide scaffold is frequently found in a variety of bioactive compounds, displaying a broad spectrum of properties, such as antibacterial and antitumor effects. In this study, we developed a new method for synthesizing 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzamide derivatives from 2-aryloxybenzamide via a PhIO-mediated oxidation reaction. The optimal reaction conditions were established as follows: TFA was used as the solvent, PhIO served as the oxidant with a substrate-to-oxidant ratio of 1:2, and the reaction was conducted at room temperature.

The reactivity of our recently disclosed hypervalent iodine reagents (HIRs) bearing a benzylamine with in situ-generated sulfenate salts was investigated. Under the studied conditions sulfonamides have been obtained in up to 52% yield. This reaction has been extended to a variety of HIRs and sulfenate salts to explore the different reactivity of these new reagents.

The rapid reaction between lead iodide (PbI) and formamidinium iodide (FAI) complicates the fabrication of high-quality formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI) films. Conventional methods, such as using nonvolatile small molecular additives to slow the reaction, often result in buried interfacial voids and molecule diffusion, compromising the devices' operational stability. In this study, we introduced a molecular "thruster"-a hypervalent iodine (III) compound with three carbonyl groups and a C-I bond-that possesses coordination and dissociation abilities, enabling programed modulation of perovskite-film growth kinetics.

Hypervalent Iodine-Mediated Synthesis of Steroidal 5/5-Spiroiminals.

Molecules

December 2024

The Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA.

The hypervalent iodine-mediated formation of steroidal 5/5-spiroiminals and 5/5-spiroaminals from steroidal amines is presented. Under the influence of excess PhI(OAc) and iodine in acetonitrile at 0 °C, steroidal amines smoothly underwent cyclization to give a mixture of 5/5-spiroiminals and 5/5-spiroaminals. This reaction represents the first example of a C-H-activation-mediated formation of a spiroiminal.
