Oxidative cleavage of lipids with sodium metaperiodate in pyridine.
The cleavage of alpha-diols and alpha-amino alcohols with sodium metaperiodate proceeds under mild conditions and in high yields when pyridine is used as reaction medium. The method is suitable for preparative as well as analytical applications.
