What are the uses of N-Iodosuccinimide? What is its mechanism?

N-Iodosuccinimide is a white powder; widely available, but quite expensive. N-Iodosuccinimide as a Precatalyst for Direct Cross-Coupling of Alcohols with C-Nucleophiles under Solvent-Free Reaction Conditions. It is also employed as electrophilic iodinating reagents in conjunction with TMSCN or succinimide to furnish multiple pairs of functional groups disposed in a 1,3-manner. Preparative Methods: reaction of N-silversuccinimide with I2 in anhydrous dioxane, removal of AgI by fitration, and addition of CCl4 to promote crystallization.
