title: N-Hydroxy-o-benzenedisulfonimide: A Misunderstood Selective Oxidizing Agent.
abstract: N-Hydroxy-o-benzenedisulfonimide (now an easily accessible reagent) is a useful selective oxidizing agent; this is contrary to what was previously believed. The oxidation reactions of aldehydes to acids, benzyl alcohols to aldehydes, thiols to disulfides, and sulfides to sulfoxides were investigated (18 examples).
