Breaking a double bond completely periodate cleavage and ozonolysis

Breaking a double bond completely periodate cleavage and ozonolysis 

The process proceeds by two successive oxidations—first of the n, and then the a bond— with different reagents (which can be added in one step or in two—you can use NaI04 to cleave any diol, whether or not you made it using OSO4). But there is another reagent that will 

Ozonolysis of cyclohexenes is particularly useful as it gives 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds that are otherwise difficult to make. In the simplest case we get hexane-l,6-dioic acid (adipic add), a monomer for nylon manufacture.
