In situ generation of o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and the catalytic use of it in oxidation reactions in the presence of Oxone as a co-oxidant.
[structure: see text] Catalytic use of o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) in the presence of Oxone as a co-oxidant is demonstrated for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols in user- and eco-friendly solvent mixtures. Also demonstrated is the in situ (re)oxidation of 2-iodosobenzoic acid (IBA) and even commercially available 2-iodobenzoic acid (2IBAcid) by Oxone to IBX allowing one to use these less hazardous reagents, in place of potentially explosive IBX, as catalytic oxidants.
