m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) oxidatively assisted reactions at 25 deg C between straight chain primary alkyl iodides and sodium nitrocyanamide to give corresponding alkyl nitrocyanamides (N-alkylation) and N-alkoxy-N'-cyanodiazene N-oxides (O-alkylation).Each alkyl nitrocyanamide thermolysed to an alkyl isocyanate.In the absence of oxidative assistance sodium nitrocyanamide suspended in an inert solvent (25 deg C to 110 deg C) did not convert straight chain primary alkyl halides.Simple secondary and tertiary alkyl iodides and isobutyl iodide in the presence of MCPBA and sodium nitrocyanamide were converted to intractable mixtures that did not contain detectable amounts of alkyl nitrocyanamides, isocyanates, or N-alkoxy-N'-cyanodiazene N-oxides.This differential reactivity between the various types of alkyl iodides was supported by a similar conversion of straight chain primary alkyl iodides to corresponding azides and other alkyl iodides to intractable mixtures on treatment with sodium azide under conditions that brought about no reaction in the absence of oxidative assistance of MCPBA.Alkyl iodides were unreactive (25 deg C to 110 deg C) to sodium cyanate in the presence or absence of peroxides.

Oxidative displacement of iodine from primary alkyl iodides and vic-substituted iodocyclohexanes with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in either dichloromethane or t-butyl alcohol-water gives primary alcohols and vic-substituted cyclohexanols, respectively.Retention of configuration at the displacement centre occurs for all of the trans-vic-substituted iodocyclohexanes except the iodoacetate and iodotrifluoroacetate where inversion of configuration occurs to give cis-hydroxy-esters.Oxidation of (S)-2-iodo-octane occurs with almost complete inversion to give (R)-octan-2-ol but also affords octan-1-ol, octan-3-ol, and octan-2-one.
