Abstract

Molecular iodine has a huge application in the field of electrophilic cyclisation reactions, oxidation, oxidative cyclisation, multi-component reactions, ring opening, cyclisation, rearrangement, oxidative cross coupling, oxidative annulation, C-H functionalization reactions, synthesis of heterocycles and its derivatives. In this mini review I discuss the utilization of iodine mediated cascade reactions for oxidative annulation, functionalization and cyclisation of various organic compounds.
