• reagents have emerged as a class of efficient and environmentally benign nonmetal “green” oxidants [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. For instance, iodosobenzene (PhIO) [74] has been widely used in many synthetic transformations. It was found that PhIO is efficient in realizing epoxidation of olefins [75

• ), phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), and iodosobenzene, has since become a popular choice for benzylic oxidations, which further expanded the scope and availability of methods for direct C–H functionalization and several coupling reactions [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. As such, we reported

Hypervalent iodine reagents such as Zefirov’s reagent, cyclic iodonium reagents, iodosobenzene/BF3, and PhI(OAc)2/BF3 or triflate-based activators were tested. A desirable facet of the reported reaction is that iodine(I) is
