Hypervalent iodine compounds for anti-Markovnikov-type iodo-oxyimidation of vinylarenes.

ABSTRACT: The iodo-oxyimidation of styrenes with the N-hydroxyimide/I₂/hypervalent iodine oxidant system was proposed. Among the examined hypervalent iodine oxidants (PIDA, PIFA, IBX, DMP) PhI(OAc)₂ proved to be the most effective; yields of iodo-oxyimides are 34-91%. A plausible reaction pathway includes the addition of an imide-N-oxyl radical to the double C=C bond and trapping of the resultant benzylic radical by iodine. It was shown that the iodine atom in the prepared iodo-oxyimides can be substituted by various nucleophiles.
