Total synthesis of Discorhabdin C: a General Aza Spiro Dienone Formation from O-Silylated Phenol Derivatives Using a Hypervalent Iodine Reagent.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 114, 2175-80 (1992).
Hypervalent iodine oxidation of 0-silylated phenols bearing various types of aminoquinones at the para position in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanoI gave azacarbocyclic spiro dienones in good yields. Using this method, the first total synthesis of discorhabdin C, which was isolated from the sponge of Latrunculia du Bocage in New Zealand, was achieved.

Hypervalent Iodine-Induced Nucleophilic Substitution of para-Substituted Phenol Ethers. Generation of Cation Radicals as Reactive Intermediates.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 116, 3684-3691 (1994).
A novel hypervalent iodine induced nucleophilic substitution ofpara-substituted phenol ethers in the presence of a variety of nucleophiles is described. UV and ESR spectroscopic studies indicate that this reaction proceeds via cation radicals, [ArH*+],as reactive intermediates generated by single-electron transfer (SET) from a charge-transfer (CT) complex of phenol ethers with phenyliodine(II1) bis(trifluor0acetate) (PIFA). This is the first case that involves a radical intermediate on hypervalent iodine oxidations of aromatic compounds.

Pummerer-type Cyclization of Arnstein Tripeptide Analogs Induced by O-Silylated Ketene Acetals: Studies of Penicillin Biosynthesis.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 116, 5116-5121 (1994).
We report the first biomimetic conversion of Arnstein tripeptide analogues (l a and l b) into cis β-lactams (2a and 2b)using O-silylated ketene acetal (3)involving asymmetric induction from the sulfoxide sulfur to the α-carbon. The peptide 1 was treated with 3 at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of ZnI2 in MeCN to give cis-2, trans-2, and α-siloxysulfide (7). Reaction of R-1 with 3 gave cis-2 predominantly, and S-1 gave a mixture of cis-2and trans-2. High cis selectivity was obtained by the use of a large volume of solvent and was strongly influenced by the absolute stereochemistry of the sulfoxide, the cysteinyl amino group, and the volume of solvent. The cis β-lactams (2a,b)were obtained preferentially from R-la,b. These chemical transformations strongly support Baldwin's mechanism which involves the initial formation of the cis β-lactam by the Pummerer-type cyclization of the Arnstein tripeptide in penicillin biosynthesis and provide useful information on the first key step in penicillin biosynthesis.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of a Potent Antitumor Antibiotic, Fredericamycin A.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123, 3214-3222 (2001).
The asymmetric total synthesis of both enantiomers of the potent antitumor antibiotic fredericamycin A (1) is detailed based on the protocol for the construction of its peri-hydroxy polyaromatic skeleton bearing the chirality at the spiro carbon via a strong base-induced cycloaddition of suitably substituted homophthalic anhydrides (AB-ring unit) with an optically active CDEF-ring unit. Particular attention has been given to the novel synthesis of the optically active spiro carbon center by a stereospecific rearrangement of optically active benzofuzed-trans-epoxy acylates leading to spirocyclopentane-1,1‘-indane systems. This method is quite useful for the construction of an optically active spiro compound and was applied to the synthesis of the optically pure CDEF-ring unit of 1. Cycloaddition of the optically pure CDEF-ring unit to AB-ring units prepared via benzyne afforded two natural and unnatural-type hexacyclic compounds, which were converted to natural and unnatural enantiomers of synthetic 1, and the absolute configuration of natural 1 was determined as S.

1-Alkoxyvinyl Esters: Renaissance of Half-Century-Old Acyl Donors with Potential Applicability.
Chem. Rec., 4, 363-372 (2004).
Among the various kinds of acyl donors, the 1-alkoxyvinyl esters have characteristic features, such as a high reactivity under nearly neutral conditions and the generation of neutral and volatile esters as single coproducts. Although their use in organic syntheses began in the middle of the 1950s, no significant progress has been seen. This is probably because the existing method of preparing alkoxyvinyl esters used toxic mercuric salts and was not totally applicable for those esters having functionalized acyl moieties.
We have discovered that the use of a catalytic amount of the less toxic [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 effectively accelerates the addition of carboxylic acids to ethoxyacetylene to give ethoxyvinyl esters bearing a variety of functionalized acyl groups in high yields. This discovery has opened a new avenue for developing new reactions and new synthetic methodologies based on the design and use of these acyl donors with suitable functional groups. Such examples include (i) the installation of hydrophilic acyl moieties on biologically active compounds, (ii) asymmetric Pummerer-type reactions, (iii) aromatic Pummerer-type reactions, (iv) the lipase-catalyzed desymmetrization of symmetrical 1,3-diols, and (v) lipase-catalyzed domino reactions. Future possibilities for these acyl donors are also discussed. © 2005 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hypervalent Iodine Reagents as a New Entrance to Organocatalysts.
Chem. Commun., 16, 2073-2085 (2009).
The catalytic utilization of hypervalent iodine reagents, largely in consideration of economical and environmental viewpoints, is a most attractive strategy due to their unique features as extremely useful oxidants, with mild, safe, and environmentally friendly characteristics. In addition to a system based on electrochemical reoxidation conditions, new reliable catalytic methods have emerged in recent years that can broaden the scope of the catalytic concept. For these contributions, a catalytic strategy is now available for performing many representative types of oxidative bond-forming reactions and alcohol oxidations mediated by hypervalent iodines, some of which even include key transformations for natural product synthesis. A suitable choice of terminal oxidants, e.g., m-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) or Oxone®, for generation of active hypervalent iodine(III) or (V) species from iodoarenesin situ, has led to recent rapid expansion in this field. This feature article highlights the historical background and the efforts made to realize the catalytic utilization of these reagents, especially with focus on iodine(III).

Metal-Free Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Unfunctionalized Aromatic Compounds.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 131, 1668-1669 (2009).
The oxidative cross-coupling reaction between two unfunctionalized arenes [oxidative C−H/C−H cross-coupling] has been widely accepted as a new and environmentally benign method for the direct synthesis of extremely important biaryls involving heteroaryls as electronic materials and devices (eq 1), by which the conventional stepwise approaches through prefunctionalizations of arenes, such as halides or metals, would be partially replaced.(1) On the contrary, the number of the selective cross-coupling methods is yet limited due to the difficulty of suppressing the undesired homodimer formations. The successful methods include σ-aryl palladiums,(1, 2) phenoxy copper species,(3) anilenium ions,(4) and aromatic cation radicals(5) as the key intermediates.

Fluoroalcohols: Versatile Solvents in Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry and Syntheses of Diaryliodonium(III) Salts.
Tetrahedron, 66, 5775-5785 (2010).
We first introduced 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) as unique solvents for reactions involving hypervalent iodine-mediated phenolic oxidations in the 1980s, in which the fluoroalcohols have been successfully utilized as stabilizing solvents of the reactive cationic intermediates, generated in situ by the action of phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA). This pioneering study produced a breakthrough in hypervalent iodine chemistry, and many synthetic applications that enable a variety of transformations have appeared utilizing this unique medium. For example, the single-electron-transfer (SET) oxidation ability of PIFA toward phenyl ethers has been discovered for the first time in HFIP and TFE, taking advantage of the unique acid-like behaviors to stabilize the aromatic cation radicals. More recently, the catalytic strategy of hypervalent iodine reagents has found extensive applications with the aid of the fluoroalcohols to produce highly reactive catalytic species under mild conditions. The fluoroalcohols are now widely used as versatile solvents not only in hypervalent iodine chemistry, but also in other organic syntheses. This manuscript for the Special Issue deals with the background of the hypervalent iodine chemistry and a new topic concerning the utility of fluoroalcohols for the synthesis of diaryliodonium(III) salts.

Unusual ipso Substitution of Diaryliodonium Bromides Initiated by a Single-Electron-Transfer Oxidizing Process.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 49, 3334-3337 (2010).
Aromatic substitution: The treatment of diaryliodonium bromides 1 with aromatic nucleophiles 2, afforded a variety of heteroaryl-containing biaryls 3 in good yields. The ipso-substitution process at the heteroaryl ring in 1 occurs through the formation of aromatic cation radicals, which are initiated by the single-electron-transfer (SET) oxidation of 2.

Discovery of Stabilized Bisiodonium Salts as Intermediates in the Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation of Alkynes.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 50, 3784-3787 (2011).
Ways and means to spirocycles: Pseudocyclic bisiodonium salts 1 stabilized by a secondary bonding interaction—an IIII⋅⋅⋅O⋅⋅⋅IIII pseudobridge linkage (circle) —were prepared by C—C bond formation between aryl alkynes and a μ-oxo-bridged hypervalent iodine compound. The synthetic utility of salts 1 was demonstrated by their facile conversion into functionalized spirocycles by treatment with a nucleophile.

An Excellent Dual Recycling Strategy for the Hypervalent Iodine/Nitroxyl Radical
Mediated Selective Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydeds and Ketones.
Green Chem, 14, 1493-1501 (2012).
Using a recyclable hypervalent iodine reagent 1, the authors have constructed versatile and green methods for the hypervalent iodine and nitroxyl radical-mediated selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The recyclable reagent 1 having a unique tetraphenyladamantane structure exhibited almost the same reactivity as the ordinary reagent, phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA), in the hypervalent iodine(III)/2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation. For recycling, the reagent 1 could be nearly quantitatively recovered as the reduced tetraiodide 2 by filtration after reaction completion, utilizing the insolubility of the formed 2 in a polar solvent, specifically, methanol. Based on the confirmed reactivity and excellent recycling operation of the reagent 1, the methodology has been further extended to a greener dual recycling strategy. By combining the recyclable iodine reagent 1 and silica-supported TEPMO catalyst, a variety of alcohols were effectively oxidized to the desired aldehydes, and the two types of used reagent and catalyst, the iodine 1 and immobilized TEMPO 5, could be separately recovered by an easy workup, and both repeatedly used without any loss of their original activities for at least four cycles.

Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 55, 3652–3656 (2016).
The direct oxidative coupling reaction has been an attractive tool for environmentally benign chemistry. Reported herein is that the hypervalent iodine catalyzed oxidative metal-free cross-coupling reaction of phenols can be achieved using Oxone as a terminal oxidant in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP). This method features a high efficiency and regioselectivity, as well as functional-group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions without using metal catalysts.

Efficient Coupling Reaction of Quinone Monoacetal with Phenols Leading to Phenol Biaryls.
Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 55, 15535-15538 (2016).
A simple and efficient synthesis of phenol biaryls by the cross-couplings of quinone monoacetals (QMAs) and phenols is reported. The Brønsted acid catalytic system in 1,1,1,3,3,3- hexafluoro -2-propanol was found to be particularly efficient for this transformation. This reaction can be extended to the synthesis of various phenol biaryls, including sterically hindered biaryls, with yields ranging from 58 to 90 % under mild reaction conditions and in a highly regiospecific manner.
