Convenient synthesis of benziodazolone: New reagents for direct esterification of alcohols and amidation of amines
Hypervalent iodine heterocycles represent one of the important classes of hypervalent iodine reagents with many applications in organic synthesis. This paper reports a simple and convenient synthesis of benziodazolones by the reaction of readily available iodobenzamides with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in acetonitrile at room temperature. The structure of one of these new iodine heterocycles was confirmed by X-ray analysis. In combination with PPh3 and pyridine, these benziodazolones can smoothly react with alcohols or amines to produce the corresponding esters or amides of 3-chlorobenzoic acid, respectively. It was found that the novel benziodazolone reagent reacts more efficiently than the analogous benziodoxolone reagent in this esterification.

Dioxoiodane Compounds as Versatile Sources for Iodine(I) Chemistry
The general synthesis, isolation and characterization of electrophilic iodine reagents of the general formula R4N[I(O2CAr)2] is reported. These compounds are air- and moisture-stable iodine(I) reagents, which were characterized including X-ray analysis. They represent conceptually new iodine(I) reagents with anions as stabilizers. These compounds display the expected performance as electrophilic reagents upon interaction with electron-rich substrates. The performance of these compounds in a total of 47 different reactions of vicinal iodooxygenation of alkenes is studied and some key features on the reagents are revealed.
In situ synthesis of 2-allyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate for the allylation of carboxylic acids
2-Allyloxypyridinium triflate is formed in situ by treating a mixture of 2-allyloxypyridine, a carboxylic acid, and toluene with methyl triflate. Subsequent warming of the reaction mixture in the presence of potassium carbonate leads to efficient formation of allyl esters in good to excellent yields.

Surfactant-mediated solvent-free dealkylative cleavage of ethers and esters and trans-alkylation under neutral conditions
A simple, surfactant-mediated, one-pot, solvent-free dealkylative cleavage of aryl ethers and esters followed by subsequent optional trans-alkylation under essentially neutral conditions has been developed.
