Abstract

Various benzylic alcohols and aliphatic secondary alcohols were smoothly oxidized to the corresponding aromatic aldehydes, aromatic ketones, and aliphatic ketones, respectively, with the novel 1-acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxole-3(1H)-one (ANBX) alone, a trivalent iodine prepared from the oxidation of 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid with MCPBA. The present reaction is the first effective method for the oxidation of alcohols with a trivalent iodine alone under mild reaction conditions.

Key words

1-acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxole-3(1H)-one - oxidation - alcohol - aldehyde - ketone

6 Experimental Procedure for the Preparation of 1-Acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (ANBX): 2-Iodobenzoic acid (5.0 mmol 1.24 g) was added to a solution mixture of 1 M HNO₃ (4 mL) and 1 M H₂SO₄ (6 mL) slowly at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at r.t. Then, the mixture was stirred for 3 h at 130 °C. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was added to ice-water (30 mL), and the obtained mixture was filtered to afford 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid in 85% yield. To a solution of 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid (5.0 mmol 1.46 g) in AcOH (40 mL) was added MCPBA (6.0 mmol 1.59 g). The reaction mixture was stirred for 48 h at 65 °C. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was added to Et₂O (40 mL) at 0 °C, and the obtained mixture was filtered to afford 1-acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one in 95% (1.67 g) yield. ANBX is not explosive below 200 °C. 1-Acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one: mp 175–179 °C. IR (neat): 1697, 1665, 1525, 1346 cm^–1. ¹H NMR (500 MHz, DMF-d ₇): δ = 1.96 (s, 3 H), 8.26 (d, J = 8.9 Hz, 1 H), 8.67 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1 H), 8.78 (dd, J = 2.3, 2.6 Hz, 1 H). ¹³C NMR (125 MHz, DMF-d ₇): δ = 20.84, 125.52, 128.20, 128.81, 128.85, 134.31, 150.81, 166.82, 172.53.

8 Experimental Procedure for the Oxidation of Alcohols in DMF: To a solution of 4-methylbenzyl alcohol (1.0 mmol, 122.1 mg) in DMF (4 mL) was added 1-acetoxy-5-nitro-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (2.0 mmol, 703.8 mg). The mixture was stirred for 24 h at 65 °C. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was added to aq NaHCO₃ (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with a mixture of Et₂O–hexane (1:1; 3 × 10 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄ and filtered. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, 4-methylbenzaldehyde was obtained with 98% purity. The purity was estimated by ¹H NMR. The purified 4-methylbenzaldehyde was obtained in 97% yield by a flash short column chromatography on silica gel. On the other hand, the aqueous layer was acidified (pH ca. 2) with 1 M aq HCl (15 mL) and the obtained mixture was filtered to afford 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid in over 92% yield. ANBX could be easily obtained again by the oxidation of 2-iodo-5-nitrobenzoic acid by MCPBA in over 94% yield. 4-Methylbenzaldehyde: oil (commercial, oil).
