• Uses: Lead tetraacetate is used as a highly selective oxidizing agent in organic synthesis. This includes oxidation of glycols into aldehydes, preparation of cyclohexyl acetate, production of oxalic acid, and in structural analysis of sugars. 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. Lead(IV) acetate is an important oxidizing agent and a source of acetyloxy group used in organic synthesis. For example, 1,4-dioxene is prepared from dioxane involving 2-acetoxy-1,4-dioxane as an intermediate. Similarly, it is used for the preparation of bis(trifluoromethyl)diazomethane from hexafluoroacetone hydrazone. It also reacts with alkenes, alcohols having a delta-proton and di-n-butyl d-tartrate to get gamma-lactones, cyclic ethers and n-butyl glyoxylate respectively. It induces the cleavage of 1,2-diols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. It is actively involved in the Kochi reaction for the decarboxylation of carboxylic acids to alkyl halides and used as an alternative reagent to bromine in the Hofmann rearrangement.

• Description: 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.
