Abstract
The catalytic dihydroxylation of p-methoxybenzoate esters of various b ishomoallylic alcohols proceeds with excellent enantioselectivity and in the case of diolefins, with improved regioselectivity using a desig ned catalyst that incorporates an N-anthracenylmethyl group to enhance catalyst-substrate binding interactions.
