Popis: We have found that the combination of Oxone® with an organoiodine compound, i.e., 2-iodobenzoic acid (2-IB), selectively yields p-quinones from monomethoxyarenes under mild conditions. In this reaction system, an organoiodine compound is immediately oxidized by Oxone® to generate cyclic hypervalent iodine (III) species in situ, which serves as the specific mediator for the selective p-quinone synthesis, preventing o-quinone formation.
