New Reactions of IBX: Oxidation of Nitrogen‐ and Sulfur‐Containing Substrates To Afford Useful Synthetic Intermediates

Abstract

New reactions for the synthetic toolbox: 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) was employed to access a diverse array of useful synthetic intermediates. Among other transformations, the developed chemistry converts amines into imines, dithianes into carbonyl groups, N-heterocycles into N-heteroaromatic compounds, and hydroxylamines into oximes in high yields.
