Abstract
A rapid, one-step, novel approach for the conversion of benzamides into benzoquinones using (diacetoxyiodo)benzene(III) and sodium bisulfate has been developed in aqueous acetonitrile at room temperature. The developed protocol is applicable to several types of substituted benzamide derivatives to get the corresponding benzoquinone products. The developed methodology offers mild reaction condition, short reaction time, and moderate to excellent yields. This is one of the most simple and environmentally benign protocols for synthesis of benzamide derivatives. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
