Abstract

DMF dissolves o-iodoxybenzoic acid (up to 0.1 mol dm− 3) and, therefore, is a solvent of choice for the reactions with o-iodoxybenzoic acid simplifying significantly a product isolation procedure due to a higher volatility. The reaction rate and selectivity of the oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds with o-iodoxybenzoic acid in DMF are close to those in DMSO.
