Selective Oxidations using Alumina-supported Iodobenzene Diacetate under Solvent-free Conditions

Abstract

The solid reagent system iodobenzene diacetate–alumina expeditiously and selectively oxidises sulfides to sulfoxides and alcohols to carbonyl compounds in high yields under the influence of microwaves.
