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.

An efficient solvent-controlled oxidative cyclization of Michael adducts of malonates with chalcones with the combination of iodosobenzene and tetrabutylammonium iodide enables the divergent synthesis of highly functionalized oxetanes and cyclopropanes in good yields with high diastereoselectivity.
