Abstract

Acetyl hypoiodite (CH₃CO₂I) is readily generated in situ by oxidation of molecular iodine by (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DAIB) and can be utilized for the synthesis of 1,2-iodo-cofunctionalized derivatives of alkenes. Conversion of both atoms of molecular iodine to I⁺ results in 100% iodine atom economy for the reported iodo-cofunctionalization of alkenes.
