Abstract

This article describes the action of iodine(III) reagents [diacetoxyiodobenzene, PhI(OAc)2, and iodosobenzene, (PhIO)n] in conjunction with TMSBr which act as functional bromine equivalents in unique oxidations of saturated, carbamate protected N-heterocycles. Interestingly, during this work, treatment of the same carbamates with molecular bromine alone afforded similar products, which were sequestered by the solvent methanol.
