Iodoxybenzoic Acid (IBX) in Organic Synthesis: A Septennial Review.

This study reviews the oxidative applications of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) in organic synthesis, focusing on C-H functionalization, hetero-hetero bond formations, ring cleavage reactions, dehydrogenation, heterocyclic ring formations, and some miscellaneous reactions in a comprehensive and critical way. It compiles the literature starting from mid-2015 to date.

Multinucleate Giant Cells in FNAC of Benign Breast Lesions: Its Significance.

Background: Multinucleate giant cells are described in breast aspirates. However, due to its rarity very few cases have been described cytologically. Hence recognition and correct interpretation of their presence is difficult, yet crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Crystal structures of 3,6-di-allyl-tetra-cyclo[6.3.0.0(4,11).0(5,9)]undeca-2,7-dione and 1,7-di-allyl-penta-cyclo-[5.4.0.0(2,6). 0(3,10).0(5,9)]undecane-8,11-dione: allyl-ated caged compounds.

The title compounds, C17H20O2 (1) and C17H18O2 (2), are allyl-ated caged compounds. In (1), the carbon atoms bearing the allyl groups are far apart [2.9417 (17) Å], hence the expected ring-closing metathesis (RCM) protocol failed to give a ring-closing product.
