General Description

Periodic acid is a chemical compound with the formula H5IO6, commonly used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water, and is known for its ability to cleave diol functionalities in organic compounds. Periodic acid is also used as a stain in histology and microscopy, particularly in the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction which is used to detect certain carbohydrates and glycogen in tissues. It is considered a powerful and versatile reagent in various chemical and biological applications due to its strong oxidizing properties and its ability to selectively target specific functional groups in organic molecules.
