Description and Uses

Lead (IV) acetate or lead tetraacetate is a chemical compound with chemical formula Pb(C2H3O2)4 and is a lead salt of acetic acid. It is commercially available often stabilized with acetic acid.

Oxidation with lead tetraacetate is often used in organic syntheses, because the lead salt is highly selective in the splitting of vicinal glycols. The rate of oxidation of cis glycols is more rapid than of the trans isomers, a property widely used in the structural determination of sugars and other polyols. Lead tetraacetate readily cleaves α-hydroxy acids as oxalic acid at room temperature. Another use is the introduction of acetoxy groups in organic molecules, as in the preparation of cyclohexyl acetate and the acetoxylation of cyclohexanol. At high temperature, methylation takes place. In these reactions, the organic molecule must contain double bonds or activating substituents.
