“…In the last few years, solid-supported ortho-iodoxybenzoic acid (1-hydroxy-1λ5,2-benziodoxol-1,3-dione, IBX) reagents able to convert primary alcohols to corresponding aldehydes, have been prepared by the immobilization of the active iodine species on chemically inert supports including silica [ 12 ], polystyrene beads [ 13 ], and ionic liquids [ 14 ]. These reagents have been reported to be biomimetic [ 15 , 16 ], contemporary solving problems associated with insolubility in common organic solvents and low stability towards moisture of IBX, combining the environmental advantages of simple recyclability of the reagent, simple purification procedures, easier reaction optimization, and safety related issues [ 13 , 17 ]. For these reasons, IBX supported reagents have been recognized as environmental friendly reagents [ 18 , 19 ].…”
