Significance

Polystyrene-supported iodosylbenzene (PS-ISB, 2) was prepared from PS-DIB 1 (H. Togo, K. Sakuratani Synlett 2002, 1966) at room temperature under solvent-free alkaline conditions. The oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols took place with PS-ISB (2) and BF3×OEt2 to afford the corresponding carbonyl compounds 4 in 66-85% yield. The catalytic oxidation of alcohols was realized with 2, RuCl3, and Oxone to ­afford 4 in 60-95% yield (method B).
