Abstract Iodoarene oxidative catalysts immobilized on magnetite (Fe3O4) were developed. The catalysts showed reactivities similar to that of 4-iodophenoxyacetic acid for the oxidation of 4-alkoxyphenols in the presence of Oxone® as a co-oxidant. In addition, they were easily recovered by the use of an external magnet and could be recycled up to eight times. The oxidation of various 4-alkoxyphenols with the catalyst proceeded smoothly at room temperature to give the corresponding p-quinones in good to high yields. This is the first example of a magnetic nanoparticle-supported iodoarene catalyst. Keywords Hypervalent compounds Oxidation Quinones

1 Introduction Environmentally benign procedures are required for the production of pharmaceuticals, flavors and fragrances, and agrochemicals. Hypervalent iodine compounds, trivalent iodine reagents such as phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) and phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), and pentavalent iodine reagents such as Dess–Martin periodinane (DMP) and o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX), have recently received significant attention as efficient, useful, and non-metallic oxidants in organic synthesis owing to their low toxicity, ready availability, and ease of handling (Fig. 1) [1–3]. With respect to the principles of green chemistry, hypervalent iodines are not ideal because stoichiometric amounts of iodine reagents are necessary during oxidation to produce equimolar amounts of iodine waste. Accordingly, many researchers have made efforts to overcome these disadvantages by two approaches: (1) use of easily recoverable and recyclable iodine reagents, H. Nambu  I. Shimokawa  T.

(2) developing catalytic versions of hypervalent iodine oxidation. (1) Two types of recyclable stoichiometric iodine reagents were reported, polymer-supported reagents [3, 4] and nonpolymer ones such as 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyladamantanederived, [5] tetraphenylmethane-derived [6], ion-supported [7, 8], and fluorous [9, 10] compounds (Fig. 2). Although the polymer-supported reagents can be easily recovered, they show much less reactive than the corresponding monomeric forms owing to steric hindrance of the reactive sites. On t
