Diacetoxyiodoso Benzene The acetate can be hydrolysed with water to iodoxybenzene or iodylbenzene C6H5O2I [3]
This compound was first prepared by Willgerodt by disproportionation of iodosylbenzene under steam distillation to iodylbenzene and iodobenzene 2 PhIO , PhIO2 + PhI is a known oxidizing agent. Iodosobenzene diacetate can also be hydrolyzed to iodosylbenzene with sodium hydroxide which is actually a polymer with the molecular formula (C6H5OI)
