Iodomethane Oxidation by Dimethyldioxirane:  A New Route to Hypoiodous Acid and Iodohydrines Gregorio Asensio Cecilia Andreu Carmen Boix-Bernardini Rossella Mello María Elena González-Nuñez 10.1021/ol9903281.s001 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/journal_contribution/Iodomethane_Oxidation_by_Dimethyldioxirane_A_New_Route_to_Hypoiodous_Acid_and_Iodohydrines/3759912 The oxidation of iodomethane with dimethyldioxirane allows the generation of stable neutral solutions of hypoiodous acid in the absence of any trapping agent for iodide anion. Hypoiodous acid is trapped in situ by addition to representative olefins to give iodohydrines in good yields. The stereochemical study of the products shows the <i>anti</i>-stereospecific nature of the iodohydroxylation reaction. 1999-12-03 00:00:00 iodomethane hypoiodous acid generation Iodohydrine agent iodohydrine absence oxidation stereospecific nature iodohydroxylation reaction Iodomethane Oxidation Dimethyldioxirane Hypoiodous acid solution yield stereochemical study New Route representative olefins dimethyldioxirane iodide anion
