Abstract

Resin-OsO4 are very efficient catalysts for the dihydroxylation of various olefins to afford vicinal diols with high yields irrespective of the cooxidant used. Resin-OsO4 is recovered quantitatively by a simple filtration and reused for a number of cycles with consistent activity. The high binding ability of the heterogeneous osmium catalysts enables the use of an equimolar ratio of a chiral ligand such as (DHQD)2PHAL to osmium to give excellent enantioselectives in the asymmetric dihydroxylation.
