What substances can sodium periodate oxidize?
Thread Content
Dear brothers and sisters: I have been conducting experiments on the cold oxidation of glycerol using sodium periodate recently. The values obtained are higher than the theoretically calculated values. I would like to ask: besides oxidizing polyols, what other substances can periodic acid scandium oxidize? I hope the experts will not hesitate to share their insights. :handshake
Periodate is a strong oxidizing agent, with a standard oxidation potential of 1.6 V; it is more powerful than chlorine, chromate, manganese dioxide, and others, and can oxidize various alcohols and aldehydes. Additionally, dry periodic anhydride can directly oxidize carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
What is the mechanism by which sodium periodate oxidizes monohydric alcohols (methanol or ethanol)? Does the senior have any relevant materials? I can’t find any information on this topic. And you’ve changed your profile picture to another one that’s so distinctive; P
