Upstream Synthesis Route

Periodic acid, a powerful oxidizing agent, finds widespread application in organic chemistry as a reagent for various synthetic transformations. One of its key roles is in the oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols, where it selectively cleaves the carbon-carbon bond between the two hydroxyl groups to yield aldehydes or ketones. This reaction, known as the diol cleavage reaction, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of various compounds, including glycolipids, carbohydrates, and natural products. Additionally, periodic acid is employed in the oxidative cleavage of certain sulfides and disulfides to generate sulfoxides and sulfones, respectively. Its ability to cleave carbon-carbon and carbon-sulfur bonds selectively makes it a valuable tool in organic synthesis for the preparation of complex molecules.
