Ie. Marko et al., SYN-STEREOCONTROLLED DIHYDROXYLATION OF BAYLIS-HILLMAN ADDUCTS, Recueil des travaux chimiques des Pays-Bas, 114(4-5), 1995, pp. 239-241
The hydroxylation of Baylis-Hillman adducts 1 is shown to proceed with
high levels of diastereocontrol. A mechanistic rationale to explain t
his selectivity is discussed.
