Organosulfide catalysis for chiral iodinated molecules

In a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society , Zhao et al. reported an organocatalytic strategy for asymmetric intermolecular iodofunctionalization of alkenes by chiral sulfide. The method showed a broad substrate scope, good enantio-control, and wide synthetic utility.
