Popis: A widely applicable triazole‐substituted chiral aryl iodide is described as catalyst for enantioselective oxidation reactions. The introduction of a substituent in ortho‐position to the iodide is key for its high reactivity and selectivity. Besides a robust and modular synthesis, the main advantage of this catalyst is the excellent performance in a plethora of mechanistically diverse enantioselective transformations, such as spirocyclizations, phenol dearomatizations, α‐oxygenations, and oxidative rearrangements. DFT‐calculations of in situ generated [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]arene isomers give an initial rational for the observed reactivity.
A good all‐rounder: An easy to synthesize chiral triazole‐substituted aryl iodide is described as an omnipotent catalyst for a variety of iodane‐mediated enantioselective oxidations. It outperforms all existing chiral hypervalent iodine precursors.
