Abstract:
The synthesis of a crystalline ethynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1 H)-one (EBX)-acetonitrile complex is described. EBX has been widely used as an active species for a variety of reactions; however, its high instability has so far prevented its isolation. The EBX-acetonitrile is self-assembled into a double-layered honeycomb structure through weak hypervalent iodine secondary interactions and hydrogen bonding. The N-ethynylation of a variety of sulfonamides using the EBX-acetonitrile complex as a substrate under mild conditions is also described.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
