These are oxidation reactions which also involve the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds, with the oxidation occurring at both ends. Some will involve complete separation of 2 oxidised fragments and others will leave them connected together. Cleavage of Single Bonds i. 1,2-diols with Lead Tetra-acetate This reaction can also be carried out with NaIO4 instead of Pb(OAc)4. ii. Ketones … Read more
