Concept:
This question is based on Periodic acid oxidation, glycol cleavage, vicinal diols requirement.
Solution:
Periodic acid (HIO4) cleaves compounds having –CHOH–CHOH–, –CHOH–CO–, or –CO–CO–
linkages — i.e., adjacent carbons each bearing oxygen-containing groups.
If the oxygen atoms are not on adjacent carbons (e.g., separated by a –CH₂– group), no
cleavage occurs.
So, Vicinal diol, α – hydroxy carbohyl, α, β– dicarbonyl are cleaved by HIO4.
