Hypervalent Iodine‐Mediated Styrene Hetero‐ and Homodimerization Initiation Proceeds with Two‐Electron Reductive Cleavage

Rather than sequential single‐electron transfer, the alkene dimerization catalyzed by a hypervalent iodine reagent is initialized by a two‐electron transfer via a trimolecular complex organized by π‐stacking interactions. This process is stepwise for the I(III) reagent and concerted for the I(V) reagent.
