Kj. Hale et al., ANOMALOUS ENANTIOSELECTIVITY IN THE SHARPLESS CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC DIHYDROXYLATION REACTION OF 1,1-DISUBSTITUTED ALLYL ALCOHOL DERIVATIVES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(3), 1994, pp. 425-428
The Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction has been examin
ed on a number of 1,1-disubstituted allyl alcohol derivatives. In the
majority of substrates studied, the product diols had ee's in the 9-11
% range and had absolute stereochemistry opposite to that predicted us
ing the Sharpless steric model.
