Transition metal-catalyzed reactions for the direct functionalization of C-H bonds,especially sp3 C-H bonds for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds,has provided a great impetus to modern organic synthesis.1 Iodine catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions,which are driven by radical-and in situ iodination-based pathways,have recently been used in the successful development of complementary methods for the direct activation of C-H bonds.2 Despite these recent advances,research towards the development of iodine cata...
