2nd International Conference on Hypervalent Iodine. Proceedings

Introduction

After 5 years, the 2nd International Conference on Hypervalent Iodine is taking place again, in Thessaloniki, Greece. We note with pleasure that the number of participants has been increased -a fact mirroring the continuing interest in the field worldwide. The quality of the contributions has also followed a parallel course: presently new methodologies are available whereas more insight is provided concerning the detailed procedures occurring during several reactions, some of which were unexpected and have enriched the mechanistic section of organic chemistry. In the same time theoretical calculations are more accessible contributing to an easier understanding and a more secure foresight of the outcome of reactions with complex substrates. Applications abound due to the many advantages of using hypervalent iodine reagents in the place of conventional reagents. Indeed, the fine chemicals industry provides several new compounds suitable not only for well-documented reaction pathways but also for further experimentation.
The Organizing Committee welcome all participants and wish to them a good stay in Thessaloniki and fruitful results in the near future from the attendance of the conference.
