Abstract
A Mo-catalyzed anti-dihydroxylation of secondary allylic alcohols provides 1,2,3-triols bearing up to three continuous stereocenters with excellent diastereocontrol. The excellent diastereomeric ratios of the final triol products can be achieved due to the high level of both diastereocontrol in the initial epoxidation and regiocontrol in the following hydrolysis in situ.
