AC-31901 - osmium-tetroxide-4-wt-solution-in-water | 20816-12-0

Applications Osmium Tetroxide (4% in H2O) is a reagent that is used in the dihydroxylation process in the synthesis of 3-[1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy]-1,2-propanediol (D436535). 3-[1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy]-1,2-propanediol is involved in biological studies as microsomal cytochrome P 450 isoenzymes from Penicillium italicum interaction with sterol demethylation inhibitor fungicides.

Oxidation, catalyst in Sharpless dihydroxylations Osmium(VIII) oxide is used in the Sharpless oxyamination to give vicinal amino-alcohols. It is used to oxidize alkenes to the vicinal diols. It acts as a staining agent used in transmission electron microscopy to provide contrast to the image and as

Osmium(VIII) oxide is widely used as an oxidant in organic synthesis to oxidize alkenes to vicinal diols as well as in the sharpless oxyamination to give vicinal amino-alcohols. It is involved in the oxidative cleavage of alkenes (Lemieux-Johnson oxidation) in association with sodium periodate. It
