Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Not just a pretty oxidant! IBX (1-Hydroxy-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-on-1-oxide), an important oxidant in organic synthesis, is shown to be relatively acidic on the organic scale. The pK value and proton affinity of IBX were determined both in silico and in vitro. This acidity could explain the non-oxidation processes mediated by IBX.
