Abstract

One of the hypervalent iodines most widely used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry is (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PhI(OAc)2), also known as (DAIB), phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA). In this septennial mini-review, the authors have concisely and systematically presented representative applications of PIDA in organic synthesis involving C-H functionalization, hetero-hetero bond formations, heterocyclic ring construction, rearrangements or migrations and miscellaneous reactions along with their interesting mechanistic aspects starting from the summer of 2015 to the present.
