Abstract
Iodine-containing molecules, especially hypervalent iodine compounds, have gained significant attention in organic synthesis. They are valuable and sustainable reagents, leading to a remarkable surge in their use for chemical transformations. One such hypervalent iodine compound, phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate)/bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene, commonly referred to as PIFA, has emerged as a prominent candidate due to its attributes of facile manipulation, moderate reactivity, low toxicity, and ready availability. PIFA presents an auspicious prospect as a substitute for costly organometallic catalysts and environmentally hazardous oxidants containing heavy metals. PIFA exhibits remarkable catalytic activity, facilitating an array of consequential organic reactions, including sulfenylation, alkylarylation, oxidative coupling, cascade reactions, amination, amidation, ring-rearrangement, carboxylation, and numerous others. Over the past decade, the application of PIFA in synthetic chemistry has witnessed substantial growth, necessitating an updated exploration of this field. In this discourse, we present a concise overview of PIFA's applications as a 'green' reagent in the domain of synthetic organic chemistry. A primary objective of this article is to bring to the forefront the scientific community's awareness of the merits associated with adopting PIFA as an environmentally conscientious alternative to heavy metals.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient method for the chemical generation of 1O2 by treatment of H2O2 with AIBX, a highly water-soluble, bench-stable, recyclable hypervalent iodine(V) reagent developed by our group. The generation of 1O2 was confirmed by the following results: (1) capture of 1O2 with the sodium salt of anthracene-9,10-bis(ethanesulfonate) produced the corresponding endoperoxide and (2) TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) produced by the oxidation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine with 1O2 generated using the AIBX/H2O2 system was detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. To illustrate the potential utility of this method for organic synthesis, we used the AIBX/H2O2 system to perform typical reactions of 1O2: [2 + 2]/[4 + 2] cycloadditions, Schenck ene reactions, and heteroatom oxidation reactions, which afforded the corresponding products in high yields. Moreover, we used the method to synthesize the antimalarial drug artemisinin. Finally, we demonstrated that AIBX could be regenerated after the reaction by means of a workup involving extraction and removal of water to obtain a precursor of AIBX, which could then be re-oxidized.

Abstract
Hypervalent iodine compounds formally feature expanded valence shells at iodine. These reagents are broadly used in synthetic chemistry due to the ability to participate in well-defined oxidation-reduction processes and because the ligand-exchange chemistry intrinsic to the hypervalent center allows hypervalent iodine compounds to be applied to a broad array of oxidative substrate functionalization reactions. We recently developed methods to generate these compounds from O2 that are predicated on diverting reactive intermediates of aldehyde autoxidation toward the oxidation of aryl iodides. Coupling the aerobic oxidation of aryl iodides with catalysts that effect C-H bond oxidation would provide a strategy to achieve aerobic C-H oxidation chemistry. In this Forum Article, we discuss the aspects of hypervalent iodine chemistry and bonding that render this class of reagents attractive lynchpins for aerobic oxidation chemistry. We then discuss the oxidation processes relevant to the aerobic preparation of 2-(tert-butylsulfonyl)iodosylbenzene, which is a popular hypervalent iodine reagent for use with porous metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts because it displays significantly enhanced solubility as compared with unsubstituted iodosylbenzene. We demonstrate that popular synthetic methods to this reagent often provide material that displays unpredictable disproportionation behavior due to the presence of trace impurities. We provide a revised synthetic route that avoids impurities common in the reported methods and provides access to material that displays predictable stability. Finally, we describe the coordination chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds with metal clusters relevant to MOF chemistry and discuss the potential implications of this coordination chemistry to catalysis in MOF scaffolds.

Abstract
The first singlet excited state of molecular oxygen ((1)O(2)) is an important oxidant in chemistry, biology, and medicine. (1)O(2) is most often generated through photosensitized excitation of ground-state oxygen. (1)O(2) can also be generated chemically through the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. However, most of these "dark oxygenations" require water-rich media associated with short (1)O(2) lifetimes, and there is a need for oxygenations able to be conducted in organic solvents. We now report that monoactivated derivatives of 1,1-dihydroperoxides undergo a previously unobserved fragmentation to generate high yields of singlet molecular oxygen ((1)O(2)). The fragmentations, which can be conducted in a variety of organic solvents, require a geminal relationship between a peroxyanion and a peroxide activated toward heterolytic cleavage. The reaction is general for a range of skeletal frameworks and activating groups and, via in situ activation, can be applied directly to 1,1-dihydroperoxides. Our investigation suggests the fragmentation involves rate-limiting formation of a peroxyanion that decomposes via a Grob-like process.
