There will be no synthetic chemist who, after reading this book, will not try to include the valuable hypervalent iodine reagents in their synthetic plans.

The first organic compound of polyvalent iodine- (dichloroiodo)benzene, PhICI2-was prepared by C. Willgerodt, in 1885. However, it took some 50 years before its first reaction was announced and several more years for really useful synthetic applications. Similarly, the exceptional oxidizing properties of o-iodylbenzoic acid, known since 1893, were unveiled only in 1994. In the meantime, an explosive growth occurred in the field of polyvalent iodine, especially during the last 10 years. More than a dozen individual compounds have currently reached the status of reagent, and numerous members from various classes have emerged as valuable synthetic intermediates. The chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds, as it is appropriate to name them, includes a wealth of important, sometimes unique, reactions, offering powerful synthetic tools. Today, their exclusion from the arsenal of the organic chemist is inexcusable.
