Abstract

Further examples of the selectivity of pentavalent trianyl-organobismuth oxidants are presented; deuterium labelling studies have established that the mechanism of oxidation of allylic alcohols by these reagents involves, to some extent, cleavage of the bismuth–aryl bond; several reactions involving the synthetically useful transfer of an aryl group from bismuth to nitrogen and to carbon are described.
