Hi everyone,

I synthesised IBX from iodobenzoic acid and potassium peroxymonosulfate (Oxone) and I can't really figure out the detailed mechanism of this oxidation. I tried finding it online, but wasn't successful. I know that the iodine is hypervalent, but I just don't know how it would get the 3 oxygens from Oxone.

I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this, as it is rather urgent.

Consider tautomeric forms of IBX

This topic reminds me.

Does anyone here have experience using SIBX? or stabilized IBX that is commercially available? I used to make IBX and use it but then I purchased SIBX and it does not oxidize the same substrate after 4hrs that IBX oxidized in 1hr. So I am not sure if I am just being impatient or I should just reflux it.

Anyone had experience with this?
