Within the repertoire of organic chemical transformations, the halogenation of substrates is among the most versatile, reliable, and broadly applicable reactions. Although a multitude of different methods are known today, there is still a huge demand for novel and, in particular, catalytic halogenation methods that exhibit new reactivities and selectivities. The class of hypervalent iodanes meets exactly these needs and thus offers a great opportunity to fuel this highly desirable direction within the field of halogenation chemistry. This Concept gives a short overview of recent examples focusing on selective and/or mechanistically unusual halogenations.
