Supporting information Oxidative cleavage of α-arylaldehydes using iodosylbenzene Nizam Havare and Dietmar A. Plattner S1 General: All used substrate were prepared following published procedures [a-m]. Starting materials: (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, Dess-Martin reagent, 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol, 2-(4- chlorophenyl)ethanol, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-(2-naphthyl)ethanol, 2-(4-methoxy)ethanol, 2- methoxy-2-phenylethanol, 2-phenylpropanal, 2-phenyl-1-butanol, cyclohexyl- phenylacetonitrile, α-tetralone, 2-acetylnaphthalene, anethol, 4-nitroacetophenone and solvents were obtained commercially from ABCR , Sigma-Aldrich , Fluka , Alfa Aesar and Acros. Dichloromethane was dried over potassium carbonate, freshly distilled and stored under Ar prior to use. Cyclohexane was dried over sodium, freshly distilled and stored under Ar prior to use. Ethyl acetate was dried over phosphor pentaoxide, freshly distilled and stored under Ar prior to use. Column chromatography: Silica gel 60 : 0.06-0.2 mm, Carl Roth GmbH. 1 TLC: Silica gel 60 F 254 25 Aluminium sheets 20x20 cm from Merck KGaA co. Darmstadt. H- spectra: Varian 300 and Bruker 500 spectrometer. GC-MS: (GC Varian 3400 , achiral GC column Macherey-Nagel optima 5 MS 30 m x0.25 mmØ, 0.25 µm film). MS: Thermo TSQ 700. Preparation of CO detection reagent (PdCl 2/HCl): 100 ml of water is added to 130 mg of palladium(II)chloride (0.733 mmol, 99.7%) in a 250 ml volumetric flask. 1 ml of HCl solution is added, which was prepared from mixture of conc. HCl/water (V/V = 1:10). The suspension is stirred for one day at room temperature, until giving a clear solution.
