Title:
Efficient Chemoselective Oxidation of Phenylmethanols to Aldehydes with Iodosobenzene
Languages of Item:
English
Abstract:
Primary phenylmethanols are selectively and efficiently oxidized to the
corresponding aldehydes by the system
C(6)H(5)IO/(C(6)H(5))(4)PBr/CH(2)Cl(2), T = 298K under aerobic
conditions. The use of the relatively stable iodosobenzene, an
iodine(III) compound, in place of the usually employed and potentially
explosive iodine(V) reagents, the easy work-up procedure, and the facile
recycling of solvent and oxidant provides a convenient and
environmentally benign oxidation method.
