Selective Oxidation of Hydrazides Using o-Iodoxybenzoic Acid to Carboxylic Acids, Esters, and Aldehydes
A selective method for conversion of hydrazide to corresponding aldehydes, acids, and esters by using hypervalent iodine reagent o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) has been developed under different reaction conditions. The developed method is mild and gives moderate to good yields for both aliphatic and aromatic substrates.
