Ammonium hypoiodite
Ammonium hypoiodites are a class of reactive intermediates used in certain organic oxidation reactions. They consist of either ammonium itself or an alkylammonium with various substituents as cation, paired with a hypoiodite anion as the active oxidant. The hypoiodite is generated in situ from the analogous iodide reagent using peroxides, oxone, peracids, or other strong oxidizing agents.[1] The hypoiodite is then capable of oxidizing various organic substrates. The iodide is regenerated, meaning the reaction runs with the iodide/hypoiodite as a catalyst in the presence of excess of the original strong oxidizing agent.
Ammonium hypoiodites are capable of oxidizing benzylic methyl groups,[2] initiating oxidative dearomatization,[3] and oxidative decarboxylation of β-ketolactones.[4] Similar to the β-ketolactone reaction, oxidative ether formation can be performed at the alpha position of various ketones. Using chiral ammonium cations can give high enantioselectivity of the alpha-etherification reaction, an example of an efficient chiral metal-free organocatalysis process.[5][6]
Several guanidinium hypoiodites can also be used in the various oxidative-coupling reactions. The guanidinium cation has the added benefit of forming multiple ionic interactions or hydrogen bonds to the substrates.[7] The conjugate acid of triazabicyclodecene is especially effective.
