(Figure Presented) Hyper-reactive: A highly reactive, fully fluorinated hypervalent iodine reagent (see formula) mediates new transformations (e.g. the one-pot conversion of sulfides to sulfoximines) and serves as a stoichiometric oxidant in well-established reactions (e.g. C-C bond cleavage and the conversion of alcohols into aldehydes).
