1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin(DIH) exhibits a reactivity similar to molecular iodine but is easier to manage since it does not sublime as a solid reagent. Additionally, DIH serves as a viable substitute for NIS (N-iodosuccinimide) in the iodination of arenes or enols.
Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP) is a commercially available chemical that decomposes slowly. However, it is sensitive to heat and shock, and exhibits an exothermic reaction when heated above 130 °C.
The commercially available organic oxidant 3,3',5,5'-tetra-tert-butyldiphenoquinone (DPQ) can be readily synthesized through the oxidation of the affordable o,o'-di-tert-butylphenol.
