Abstract

The synthesis and application of some new hypervalent iodine compounds bearing chiral and achiral ester motives derived from easily accessible starting materials is presented. The oxidation is carried out using dimethyldioxirane as an oxidant providing the desired compounds in moderate to high yields. A crystal structure analysis for one iodine(V) derivative is investigated. The λ5-iodanes are applied as stoichiometric reagents in the oxidation of thioanisole to phenylmethyl sulfoxide, benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde, and meso-hydrobenzoine to benzaldehyde, benzyl, and benzoin.
