Question:

An alternative to the ozonolysis of alkenes is to treat an alkene with two molar equivalents of periodic acid and a catalytic amount of OsO4.

(a) Explain the role of each reagent in the reaction shown in Fig. P11.64. Your explanation should account for the fact that two molar equivalents of periodic acid are required.

(b) Complete the following reaction.A CH3 OsO4 + 2H1O6 HO

H3C HC Figure P11.64 + 2HIO6 OsO4 (catalytic amount) HO HC H3C C=0+ 0 + 2 H3IO4 + 2 HO
