Catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation of alpha-methylstyrene by air

[en] Dioxygen is able, under visible irradiation, to promote the high yielding and highly asymmetric dihydroxylation of alpha-methylstyrene in the presence of catalytic amounts of Os(VI), phthalazine dihydroquinidine chiral ligand [(DHQD)(2)PHAL].

The following amount of reagents (in mg) has been used to oxidize 1 mmol of α-methylstyrene in aqueous t- BuOH by the original Sharpless AD reaction using Admix or our SOAD reaction.
