NaIO4 oxidizes lithium bromide efficiently under acidic conditions to functionalize alkylbenzenes and alkanes and produce the corresponding bromo and acetoxy derivatives in excellent yields. The protocol also demonstrates the direct conversion of cyclohexane into trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane in moderate yield. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Aromatic aldehydes or benzylic alcohols are directly converted to the corresponding aromatic esters in high yields on treatment with methanol or ethanol mediated by sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4)/LiBr in an acidic medium.

A new milder protocol for aziridination of a variety of olefins has been described. The process employs catalytic amount of sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) as an oxidant and LiBr and chloramine-T as the bromine and nitrogen sources, respectively. Interestingly, the formation of aziridine products in all the cases studied takes place presumably through a process of 1,2-aminobromination of alkenes. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
