Abstract

Hypervalent iodine reagents are widely recognized as low-toxic oxidizing agents for use in the place of highly toxic heavy metal oxidizing reagents and many oxidation methods have been developed. 1 We have also been developing many synthetic reactions using the hypervalent iodine reagents. 2 We recently reported the reaction of phenol compounds with benzylic tert-cyclobutanols and phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA) to afford spiro cyclohexadienone ...
