Alcohols are oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) or with Dess-Martin-Periodinane (DMP) in hydrophilic [bmim]BF4 and hydrophobic [bmim]PF6 ionic liquids at room temperature under mild conditions in excellent yields with high selectivity. IBX and DMP promoted oxidations are faster in ionic liquids as compared to conventional solvents such as DMSO, DMF, EtOAc and H2O. The byproduct iodosobenzoic acid (IBA) and the ionic liquid are readily recovered.

o-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) was found to be highly effective in oxidations adjacent to carbonyl and benzylic functionalities to form either α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds or conjugated aromatic carbonyl systems. Fine-tuning of the reaction conditions allowed remarkably selective transformations within multifunctional substrates.
