Abstract

A three-step preparation of a polymer-supported IBX reagent from poly(p-methylstyrene) is reported. This reagent has been used successfully for the efficient oxidation of a series of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes.

Poly(p-methylstyrene) can be converted into polymer-supported oxidant 1 in three steps. Polymer-supported reagent 1 is a mild and efficient oxidant that can be used to oxidise primary and benzylic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes.
