Evidence that cleavage of 1,2-diols by HIO4 occurs through a five-membered cyclic
Chapter 8, Problem 8.56(choose chapter or problem)
Evidence that cleavage of 1,2-diols by HIO4 occurs through a five-membered cyclic periodate intermediate is based on kinetic datathe measurement of reaction rates. When diols A and B were prepared and the rates of their reaction with HIO4 were measured, it was found that diol A cleaved approximately 1 million times faster than diol B. Make molecular models of A and B and of potential cyclic periodate intermediates, and then explain the kinetic results.
