High-Yielding Oxidation of β-Hydroxyketones to β-Diketones Usingo-Iodoxybenzoic Acid
摘要:
The oxidation of beta-hydroxyketones to beta-diketones was systematically investigated. o-Iodoxybenzoic add (IBX) was found to be efficient, operationally easy, and superior to other common oxidants. The reaction is suitable for milligram- to gram-scale oxidations.
