A single‐electron transfer (SET) is the key step in new reactions using the hypervalent iodine compound 2‐iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) 1 as a reagent. Efficient oxidations of alcohols, oxidation of the benzylic position, or introduction of α , β ‐double bonds into carbonyl compounds are other new applications of this reagent.
