[Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene

rmaceutical/Chemical: [Bis(trifluoroacezene acts as a reagent in Pummerer-like reactions. - It plays an important role in the direct alfa-hydroxylation of ketones under acidic conditions. - It is involved in the cyclization of styryl amines to N-alkyl or N-aryl indoles. - It serves as a reagent for the chemoselective deprotection of dimethoxybenzyl ethers and tosyloxylation of anilides. - Further, it is used in the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles by the oxidation of N-acylhydrazones. - In addition to this, it is employed in the Hofmann rearrangement for the conversion of cyclobutanecarboxamide to cyclobutylamine hydrochloride.
