A new entry for the oxidation of fluoroalkyl-substituted methanol derivatives: Scope and limitation of the organoiodine(V) reagent-catalyzed oxidation

Oxidation of various fluoroalkyl-substituted methanol derivatives under the influence of a catalytic amount of sodium 2-iodobenzenesulfonate and Oxone® in CH3CN or CH3NO2 was investigated in detail. The efficiency of the newly developed oxidation was also evaluated by comparison to other oxidations, such as Dess–Martin, PDC, and Swern oxidation.
