"oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones fundamental to chemical manufacturing... iodine-oxone catalyst (no toxic chromium/ manganese) in its pre-activated form, adding chemical helper improving mixing, sustainably converts alcohols into aldehydes or carboxylic acids and ketones at 30°C (was 70°C)... pre-activated IBS catalyst in ready-to-work form, adding helper chemical tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate so oxone dissolves/ mixes properly... 1-pot for multiple reactions... medicines, fragrances, plastics"
