Description

Sodium Periodate CAS NO 147126-67-8 is a powerful and versatile oxidizing agent widely used in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. Its primary value lies in its ability to selectively cleave carbon-carbon bonds in vicinal diols, a critical reaction for structural elucidation and chemical synthesis. This compound is essential for research laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and chemical producers involved in carbohydrate chemistry, polymer modification, and the production of fine chemicals.

Application

• Oxidative Cleavage of Vicinal Diols: Key reagent for the selective cleavage of 1,2-diols to generate aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, fundamental in carbohydrate and steroid chemistry.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex organic molecules requiring precise oxidative transformations.
• Polymer & Material Science: Employed to modify natural polymers like starch and cellulose, or to create functionalized surfaces and cross-linked materials.
• Analytical Chemistry & Biochemistry: Utilized in the structural analysis of sugars and nucleic acids, and for protein labeling via oxidation of specific amino acid residues.
• Electronics & Microfabrication: Acts as an oxidizing agent in specific etching and cleaning processes for semiconductor manufacturing.
• Water Treatment & Disinfection: Serves as a potent disinfectant and oxidant in specialized water treatment applications.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Periodate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and oxidizing nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under dry, inert conditions to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
