54. The beneficial effect of HFIP might be aiding the protonation of the intermediary hypoiodite species and shifting the disproportionation equilibrium.
55. Please see the Supporting Information for more experimental details.
56. In wet media, molecular iodine disproportionates into iodide and hypoiodite, among others; see the Supporting Information for details.

58. This is in notable agreement with common stoichiometric Hofmann–Löffler reactions using the analogous hypobromite; see:

63. We cannot completely rule out the potential participation of the reduced TPT in the N−I activation step. However, this would only permit a stoichiometric radical recombination from III to IV.

76. In agreement with our presented calculations, the previous limitation on sulfonamides[6] is therefore not due to the potential role of this group as a photosensitizer.
