Abstract. This manuscript describes an experiment suitable for sophomore or advanced organic chemistry students involving the oxidation of piperonyl alcohol to piperonal using the hypervalent iodine oxidizing agent IBX (o-iodoxybenzoic acid). The reaction is simple to carry out in one lab period, and gives the product in good yield and purity without purification.
