Oxidation, iodation, sulfuration etc. HELP!!!

Hello! I need something about following things. It is very important to me:

1. Oxidation of carboxylic acids to chinones with presence of diiode pentaoxide (I2O5), potassium peroxodisulphate (K2S2O8), potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7);

2. Iodation. Inserting of iodium to the hydroxochinaldine acids ring by using diiode pentaoxide (I2O5);

3. Sulfuration of hydroxochinaldine acids by using tetraphosphorus decasulphide (P4S10);

4. Anything about Lawesson reagents.

I rely on your help because it is a very important case to me.

Thanks a lot!

In your first three points, you describe chemical reactions. What is it you want to know about them?

Apparently Lawesson's reagent is p-Methoxyphenylthionophosphine sulphide dimer.

I was unable to find out more about the reagent. It's mentioned a lot on Google, but there's no site explaining what it does as far as I could tell. It's not in my o-chem textbook either.

Sorry I couldn't help you.
