在空气中不稳定,有腐蚀性。遇水分解,形成PbO 2 和醋酸，溶于热冰乙酸、苯、氯仿、四氯化碳、甲苯、乙腈、硝基苯和二氯甲烷。有毒。无水醋酸液封。有机合成中的选择性氧化剂。诱导二氟二碘甲烷加成到烯烃和炔烃上。 Lead(IV) acetate is an inorganic lead salt. It participates in α-acetoxylation of ketones and oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acids. It along with an ionic halide (particularly chloride) salt participates in the decarboxylation of acids to afford alkyl chlorides. It affords the corresponding α,β-unsaturated γ-acetoxy-γ-lactones via reaction with 2-(trimethylsiloxy)furans.
