Iodosylbenzene
Recent Literature

A rapid oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols using catalytic amounts of
TEMPO and Yb(OTf)3 in combination with a stoichiometric amount of
iodosylbenzene afforded carbonyl compounds in excellent yields without
over-oxidation. Oxidation of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary
alcohols proceeded with good selectivity.

α-Tosyloxyketones and α-tosyloxyaldehydes were directly prepared from alcohols by treatment
with iodosylbenzene and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in
good yields. Modified methods gave thiazoles, imidazoles and
imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from alcohols in good to moderate yields.

A palladium-catalyzed dimerization of terminal acetylenes with iodosylbenzene as
oxidant allowed the preparation of various diynes in good yields in a short
period of time at room temperature.
