OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS BY USING 2, 4, 6- TRIS [(4-DICHLOROIODO) PHENOXY)]- 1,3,5- TRIAZINE, AS A RECYCLABLE HYPERVALENT IODINE(III) REAGENT

Abstract

A clean and efficient method for the oxidation of alcohols by using recyclable nonpolymeric 2,4,6-tris [(4-dichloroiodo) phenoxy)]-1,3,5-triazine 2 and TEMPO as the co-oxidant is demonstrated. Near insolubility of the co-product triiodide 1 in methanol plays the crucial role in its easy regain and reuse for recyclability of the reagent 2, 4, 6-tris [(4- dichloroiodo) phenoxy)]-1,3,5-triazine 2.
