Stereoselective reactions

In the past few decades, the chemistry of hypervalent iodine reagents has been developed as an important tool for synthetic and natural product chemistry. The variety of hypervalent iodine reagents has led to number of versatile oxidative strategies in synthetic organic chemistry. Various synthetic moieties can be selectively introduced into complex molecules under very mild reaction conditions. In addition, various hypervalent iodine‐catalyzed stereoselective approaches have been developed by generating active catalytic species in situ via oxidation of precatalysts. This chapter highlights some recent developments of stereoselective reactions using hypervalent iodine reagents including catalysis
