PERIODIC ACID FOR SYNTHESIS
Description
The periodic acid is reduced to iodic acid (HIO3). Because vicinal diols are obtained from alkenes, the combination of dihydroxylation followed by oxidative cleavage of a diol provides an alternative method to ozonolysis of alkenes to yield the same products.
Application
Application
Periodic acid is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state +7. Like all periodates it can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6 and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO4.
