CAS 10450-60-9: Periodic acid (H5IO6)
Description:Periodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6 and CAS number 10450-60-9, is a strong oxidizing agent primarily used in organic chemistry for the cleavage of glycols and the oxidation of various organic compounds. It is a member of the family of iodine oxoacids and is characterized by its high oxidation state of iodine, which is +7. Periodic acid is typically encountered in its dihydrate form, which is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It exhibits strong acidic properties and can form various salts, known as periodates, when reacted with bases. The compound is sensitive to light and can decompose upon prolonged exposure, releasing iodine. Due to its oxidizing nature, periodic acid must be handled with care, as it can react vigorously with reducing agents. In laboratory settings, it is often utilized in the synthesis of complex organic molecules and in analytical chemistry for the determination of certain functional groups.
