The thermal properties of hypervalent iodine reagents (iodobenzene diacetate, bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene, [hydroxyl(mesyloxy)]iodobenzene, [hydroxy(tosyloxy)] iodobenzene) and polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents (polystyrene-supported iodobenzene diacetate, polystyrene-supported bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene, polystyrene-supported[hydroxyl(mesyloxy)]iodobenzene, polystyrene-supported [hydroxy(tosyloxy)] iodobenzene) were investigated using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The polystyrene-supported iodobenzene diacetate, synthesized from polystyrene, was a precursor to other three polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents (PS-HTIB, PS-HMIB and PS-BTI). The TG curves of hypervalent iodine reagents and their polymer analogues show mainly one-step mass loss behaviour, whereas enthalpy change (∆H) and onset temperature were calculated from a DSC curve which that shows hypervalent iodine reagents and their polymer analogues decompose endothermically. The results suggest that the polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents are more stable than hypervalent iodine reagents and therefore may be used in reactions without decomposition up to 350–410 °C in comparison to the polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagents that are stable up to 132–160 °C.
