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.
