SODIUM PARAPERIODATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White, crystalline solid. Very slightly soluble in water; soluble in concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions.

Uses

Selectively oxidizes specific carbohydrates and amino acids, wet-strengthens paper, aids combus- tion of tobacco.

Uses

Sodium paraperiodate is used to wet-strengthen paper and to aid in tobacco combustion. It is used in solution to open saccharide rings between vicinal diols leaving two aldehyde groups. This process is often used in labeling saccharides with fluorescent molecules or other tags such as biotin.

General Description

Sodium (para)periodate is a hypervalent iodine compound.
