It's not uranyl acetate, but after treatment with glutaraldehyde and washing with a phosphate buffer, tissues are often treated with this compound as a negative stain in electron microscopy. Sodium periodate both regenerates this compound and oxidizes the organic compound when converting alkenes to aldehydes and ketones in the Lemieux-Johnson oxidation. This compound is often neutralized by mixing with corn oil, and exposure to this compound can cause (*) temporary blindness. A potassium derivative of this compound and a chiral amine such as (DHQ)2-PHAL is present in AD-mix beta, an enantioselective reagent mixture for a reaction catalyzed by this compound. In that reaction, two ester-like linkages are broken with a reducing agent such as potassium bisulfite, regenerating this compound, and the overall result is conversion of an alkene to
