Sodium (meta)periodate

General description

Sodium (meta)periodate is commonly used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis for the oxidation of various organic substrates. It can also be used as a co-oxidant with other oxidizing reagents such as osmium tetroxide and potassium permanganate. The oxidation of sodium periodate takes place in a water medium, but an organic co-solvent is used for organic substrates that are insoluble in water.

Application

Sodium (meta)periodate can be used as an oxidizing agent for the oxidation of:      

• 1,2-diols to aldehydes or ketones via oxidative cleavage.       Sulfides to sulfoxides in the presence of phase transfer catalysts.      
• Diaryl, dialkyl, and aryl alkyl selenides to the respective selenoxides.      
• Phenols and their derivatives to corresponding quinones.
• Acylphosphoranes to α,β-dicarbonyl compounds.

• Selective alkene epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation,¬∑
• Oxidation of carbohydrates.      
• Iodination of aromatic compounds.

Useful reagent for the oxidation of carbohydrates prior to labeling with biotin hydrazide

Features and Benefits
