Potassium Ferricyanide
Recent Literature
The ionic liquids [C4mim][PF6]
and [C8mim][PF6] as cosolvents in asymmetric
dihydroxylation give yields and enantioselectivity
comparable or higher than those of the conventional H2O/tert-BuOH
solvent system. After extraction of the reaction mixture with diethyl ether, the
contamination of the product by osmium was
remarkably low. The reuse of ionic liquid and catalyst is
possible.
