Abstract

m-Iodosylbenzoic acid selectively oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to the respective carbonyl compounds in the presence of RuCl3 (0.5 mol%) at room temperature in aqueous acetonitrile. Separation of pure products is conveniently achieved by scavenging any aryl iodide by ion exchange with IRA-900 (hydroxide form) or by simple extraction of the basic aqueous solution with water. The reduced form of the reagent, m-iodobenzoic acid, can be easily recovered from the ion-exchange resin or from the basic aqueous solution by simple acidification with HCl.
