The chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds has been experiencing considerable attention of organic chemists during the past few years. Hypervalent iodine reagents have found ubiquitous applications in organic synthesis because of their mild and highly chemoselective oxidizing properties, easy commercial availability, and environmental benign character. Along with oxidation of alcohol, they have also shown to be useful in number of organic transformations which include oxidative functionalization of carbonyl compounds, catalytic imidations, cyclization, oxidative coupling of phenols, amines and related compounds. Among various hypervalent iodine reagents, iodine-V compounds (λ5-iodanes) have attracted much attention in recent years. This review narrates the particular advances in iodine (V) reagents with special emphasis on the use of DMP in organic transformations.

在过去的几年中，高价碘化合物的化学作用一直受到有机化学家的关注。高价碘试剂因其温和的和高度化学选择性的氧化特性，易于商业应用以及环境友好的特性而在有机合成中得到了广泛应用。除醇的氧化外，它们还显示出可用于许多有机转化，包括羰基化合物的氧化官能化，催化酰亚胺化，环化，酚，胺和相关化合物的氧化偶联。在各种高价碘试剂中，近年来，碘-V化合物（λ5-碘）引起了广泛的关注。
