Abstract
Commercially available iodine has played an important role in organic synthesis. The review describes the use of iodine in the synthesis of several iodolactones and lactones. The cyclization of nonconjugated unsaturated acids, diallyl- hydroxyacetic acids, benzyl carbamates, norbornene derivatives, aryl-allenoic acids, olefinic amides and γ-methallyl malonic acids with iodine leads to the formation of iodolactones. This article is dedicated to Mr. Victor Marcos Simon on the occasion of his 95th Birthday.
Keywords: Iodolactonization, organic synthesis, lactones, benzyl carbamates, norbornene derivatives

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
