摘要

An operationally simple and clean oxidation of a variety of vicinal diols to aldehydes using polymer-supported (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PSDIB) has been developed in high to excellent yields. Protecting groups such as OAc, OR, OBn, OBz and isopropylidene in the substrates were found to be stable under these reaction conditions. The regenerated PSDIB could be reused for the same reaction, affording oxidation products in high yield and purity.
