Macroporous polystyrene-supported IBX amide: the improved oxidative properties in various solvents

In this study, macroporous polystyrene-supported IBX (MPS-IBX) amides were prepared in two simple steps, and the polymeric reagent was then evaluated for its efficiency in converting a range of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in various solvents. The results indicated that MPS-IBX amides were compatible with a variety of solvents, and had a more efficient oxidation activity toward alkyl alcohols than the gel type polystyrene-supported IBX amide resin.
