Jr. Hanson et al., THE EFFECT OF A TERTIARY AMINE IN THE CATALYTIC OSMYLATION OF ALKENES, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (12), 1994, pp. 466-467
A comparison of the products of osmylation of steroidal DELTA4- and DE
LTA5-enes in the presence and absence of a complexing amine is reporte
d and the results are interpreted in terms of a stepwise mechanism of
osmylation in which the co-oxidant may determine the formation of some
products.
