43. Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP) used in the process was purchased from commercial sources. The literature indicates that the intermediate [1-hydroxy-1, 2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one] is explosive under excessive heating (>200 °C) or impact [J.B. Plumb & D.J. Harper, Chem. Eng. News 1990, July 16, 3]. In our experience, the oxidation of the secondary alcohol was found to be slow when DMP was used in dry methylene chloride and required several hours for the completion of the reaction. However, when wet methylene chloride [S.D. Meyer & S.L. Schreiber, J. Org. Chem. 1994, 59, 7549] was used, the reaction required only 2 to 3 h for completion and a very mild exotherm was observed (∼5 to 8 °C) at the 440-g scale reaction. We have also observed that the rate of the addition of wet methylene chloride controls the exotherm and rate of the reaction.
