Electrochemical degradation of APIs in para‐periodate platform oxidizer process.^[a]

API (0.8–3 mm)	Degradation [kilo equiv. of Na3H2IO6]
	>90 %	>95 %	>99 %
	0.208	0.241	0.319
	0.507	0.644	0.962
	direct complete glycol cleavage in contact with anolyte solution

[a] Reaction conditions: Flow electrolyzer (BDD|Nafion membrane|stainless steel, 4×12 cm²=48 cm²); dye (0.8–3 mm), NaOH (4 m), Na₃H₂IO₆ (0.21 m), H₂O (200 mL), 312 mA cm⁻², Q=9–12 F, RT. All kilo equiv. of periodate were calculated as shown in section 11 (Supporting Information). [b] Concentration of 0.8 mm. [c] Degradation determined by LC–MS. [d] Degradation without electricity. [e] Concentration of 3 mm. [f] Degradation determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.
