Abstract

By employing 2 mol% of a magnetically recoverable osmium catalysts with stable osmium-diolate esters, dihydroxylation of alkenes proceeded smoothly to provide the corresponding vicinal diols with a low level of osmium leaching. After completion of the dihydroxylation, the osmium catalyst was readily recovered by use of an external magnet and was recycled up to five times.
