Application
Periodic acid may be used in the following reactions:Oxidation of alcohols to ketones and aldehydes.Oxidation hydroxylamine derivatives.Oxidation of arenes to quinones.Deprotection of the dithio- and oxathio-derivatives.Oxidative degradation of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR).Oxidation of urazoles and bis-urazoles to triazolinediones.Oxidative cleavage of glucosazone.
General description
Periodic acid is an inorganic acid commonly used as an oxidizing agent. Periodic acid oxidation is one of the steps in the periodate-resorcinol assay, used in the determination of sialic acid. Periodic acid reacts with 1,2 glycol linkage of carbohydrates to form aldehydes which can be stained by Schiff’;s reagent. Therefore periodic-acid-Schiff′s reagent (PAS) is used in histochemistry to determine carbohydrates in tissue sections.
