Answer:
1,2- or vicinal diols are cleaved by periodic acid, HIO4, into two carbonyl compounds.
The reaction is selective for 1,2-diols.
The reaction occurs via the formation of a cyclic periodate ester (see right).
This can be used as a functional group test for 1,2-diols.
The products are determined by the substituents on the diol.
