This key species is identified here by density functional theory (DFT) calculations to be the hypoiodite radical (IO˙). The calculations show that two equivalents of IO˙ are generated when I2 reacts with two equivalents of PhIO. One of the ensuing IO˙ species acts as a hydrogen abstractor and thus forms an organic radical and the other one is involved in oxidation of the resultant organic radical to afford the final product.
