Abstract

Esters of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX-esters) were prepared by the hypochlorite oxidation of the corresponding 2-iodobenzoate esters and isolated as chemically stable, microcrystalline products. These hypervalent iodine compounds are potentially valuable oxidizing reagents belonging to a new class of pentavalent iodine compounds with a pseudobenziodoxole structure. Methyl 2-iodoxybenzoate can be further converted to the diacetate or a bis ( ...
