Iodobenzene Dichloride
Recent Literature

A highly efficient and mild procedure for the oxidation of different types of
alcohols uses TEMPO as catalyst, iodobenzene dichloride as stoichiometric
oxidant, and pyridine as base. Oxidation of 1,2-diols gives α-hydroxy ketones or
α-diketones depending on the amount of oxidant used. High yielding procedures
for the preparation of iodoarene dichlorides have been developed.

Various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are converted into their corresponding
carbamoyl azides in very good yields in the presence of iodobenzene dichloride
and sodium azide in acetonitrile under nitrogen.
