C H IO in methanol in the presence of acids
cooled to the temperature indicated in the table was
added 2.02 mmol of iodosobenzene diacetate (I), and

kept at the indicated temperature for the time interval
mentioned in the table, then poured into 30 ml of
water, extracted with ethyl ether (2 30 ml), washed
with saturated aqueous NaCl solution, and dried on
Na2SO4. The ether was distilled off, the residue was
dissolved in benzene and subjected to chromato-
graphy on a column packed with silica gel (eluent
hexane, then hexane benzene, 4: 1). 3,4-Dimethoxy-
It is important that with (E,E)-1,4-diphenylbuta-
diene (XI) the oxidative rearrangement did not occur
but in 59% yield was obtained 1,2-dimethoxylation
product, 3,4-dimethoxy-1,4-diphenyl-1-butene (XII).
In earlier publications [2, 12] was reported only on
reactions of C H I(OH)OTs with conjugated dienes

We failed to perform selectively the oxidative
rearrangement of (E)-stilbene (XIII) under the action
of iodosobenzene diacetate. In all cases in the reaction
products prevailed benzophenone (XIV), and by
GC-MS method were detected diphenylacetaldehyde,
diphenylacetic acid, epoxystilbene, deoxybenzoin,
and benzyl. The nonselectivity of the process is
apparently due to the low solubility of (E)-stilbene
under the reaction conditions.

Thus the results obtained show in general new
preparative opportunities opened for iodosobenzene
diacetate, the most accessible compound of the poly-
valent iodine, and call for wider use of the substance
in the organic synthesis.
