Togni reagent

Togni reagent is a chemical compound used in chemistry to add a specific group called an "oxy" (oxygen-containing) group to other molecules, particularly aromatic compounds like benzene. It is a type of hypervalent iodine reagent, meaning iodine is bonded to more atoms than usual, making it highly reactive. Researchers often use Togni reagent to modify molecules in drug development or organic synthesis, enabling the creation of new compounds with desired properties. Its ability to efficiently transfer oxygen makes it valuable for selectively transforming molecules in a controlled and predictable manner.
