Abstract
o-Methyl-substituted Me-IBX is the first modified analog of IBX that oxidizes alcohols in common organic solvents at room temperature, due to a composite of two factors, that is, low solubility and hypervalent twisting-promoted rate enhancement. Furthermore, the reagent is efficient for selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides, a transformation that otherwise occurs only sluggishly with standard IBX. The facile synthetic accessibility and its mild as well as non-hazardous nature render Me-IBX a stable equivalent of Dess-Martin periodinane reagent in organic oxidations.
