The carbon–carbon bond in a vicinal diol (glycol) is cleaved and instead the two oxygen atoms become double-bonded to their respective carbon atoms. Depending on the substitution pattern in the diol, these carbonyls will be ketones and/or aldehydes. [1] Glycol cleavage is an important for determining the structures of sugars.
Periodic acid (/ ˌ p ɜːr aɪ ˈ ɒ d ɪ k / per-eye-OD-ik) is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state +7. It can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H 5 IO 6, and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO 4. Periodic acid was discovered by Heinrich Gustav Magnus and C. F ...
Two mechanisms are proposed for the Criegee oxidation, depending on the configuration of the diol. [6] [7] If the oxygen atoms of the two hydroxy groups are conformationally close enough to form a five-membered ring with the lead atom, the reaction occurs via a cyclic intermediate.
Sodium periodate is an inorganic salt, composed of a sodium cation and the periodate anion.It may also be regarded as the sodium salt of periodic acid.Like many periodates, it can exist in two different forms: sodium metaperiodate (formula NaIO 4) and sodium orthoperiodate (normally Na 2 H 3 IO 6, but sometimes the fully reacted salt Na 5 IO 6).
Through a variety of mechanisms, the removal of a hydride equivalent converts a primary or secondary alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone, respectively. The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (gem-diol, R-CH(OH) 2) by reaction with water ...
In organic chemistry, the Malaprade reaction or Malaprade oxidation is a glycol cleavage reaction in which a vicinal diol is oxidized by periodic acid or a periodate salt to give the corresponding carbonyl functional groups. [1] [2] The reaction was first reported by Léon Malaprade in 1928. [3] [4] Amino alcohols are also cleaved. [5]
Two ketyl groups react in a coupling reaction yielding a vicinal diol with both hydroxyl groups deprotonated. Addition of water or another proton donor gives the diol. With magnesium as an electron donor, the initial reaction product is a 5-membered cyclic compound with the two oxygen atoms coordinated to the oxidized Mg 2+ ion.
An α,β-epoxyketone reacts with hydrazine hydrate to yield an allylic alcohol. [7] In the synthesis of warburganal, a bioactive natural product, the α,β-epoxyketone is formed from a cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketone and in a separate step reacts under the classical Wharton olefin synthesis conditions to yield an allylic diol.
