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.
It can be prepared by reaction of red lead with acetic acid [1] The other main lead acetate is Lead(II) acetate.
[edit] Reagent in organic chemistry
Lead tetraacetate is a strong oxidizing agent, a source of acetyloxy groups and a general reagent for the introduction of lead into organolead compounds. Some of its many uses in organic chemistry:
- acetoxylation of benzylic, allylic and α-oxygen ether C-H bonds, for example the photochemical conversion of dioxane to 1,4-dioxene through the 2-Acetoxy-1,4-dioxane intermediate [2] and the conversion of α-pinene to verbenone [3]
- oxidation of hydrazones to diazo compounds for example that of hexafluoroacetone hydrazone to bis(trifluoromethyl)diazomethane [4]
- aziridine formation, for example the reaction of N-aminophthalimide and stilbene [5]
- cleavage of 1,2-diols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones often replacing ozonolysis, for instance the oxidation of di-n-butyl d-tartrate to n-butyl glyoxylate [6]
- reaction with alkenes to γ-lactones
- oxidation of alcohols carrying a δ-proton to cyclic ethers [7].
- Oxidative cleavage of certain allyl alcohols in conjunction with ozone [8] [9] :
- conversion of acetophenones to phenyl acetic acids [10]
