Abstract

Recent development in iodonium-induced reactions of alkynols is discussed and analysed herein. ClassicalMeyer-Schuster and Rupe rearrangements are described as a background to the main body of iodonium-inducedreactions. α-Iodoenones derived from rearrangement of alkynols, known herein as the Iodo Meyer-Schusterreaction, links the classical Meyer-Schuster reaction to the novel reaction of iodonium-induced rearrangement ofalkynols. The rearrangements leading to the formations of β-haloenones and β,β-dihaloenones and enals arediscussed with mechanistic considerations, which include stereospecificity of the migrating group and themigratory aptitude differences between the phenyl and the alkyl groups. The role of solvents – namely the watercontent in organic solvent – is presented with mechanistic consideration of the role of the allenol, the haloniumbridge cation intermediates and water in dictating each different reaction pathways. The application of therearrangement reaction to biological interesting molecules such as glucofuranose and xylofuranose is discussed. Haloetherification reaction, the third type of halonium-induced alkynol reaction, was found to be the exclusivereaction in the halogenation of alkynol derivative of hexofuranoses.
