The cleavage of
-diols and
-amino alcohols with sodium metaperiodate proceeds under mild conditions and in high yields when pyridine is used as reaction medium. The method is suitable for preparative as well as analytical applications.
Supplementary key words
-diols
-glycols
-amino alcohols sphingosine bases rac-4-sphingenine rac-sphinganine cis,cis-9,12-octadecadien-1-al (linolealdehyde) trans-2-hexadecen-1-al
