Abstract

Recent progress in electrophilic cyclizations has led to the development of many electrophilic cyclizing agents. Among them, iodine monochloride (ICl) has recently emerged as one of the most promising. In this Review, we highlight the advances in iodine monochloride mediated electrophilic cyclizations from 2000 to 2014. In addition, the different transformations of organoiodine compounds (the usual products of these electrophilic cyclizations) are discussed.
