The Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation in the Organic Chemistry Majors Laboratory

Nicholas, Christopher J.; Taylor, Melissa R.

Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n1 p105 Jan 2005

Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation is developed that focuses on the varying enantiomeric excess of the product diols based on the structures of the alkenes being oxidized. The experimental sequence enables investigation of this reaction in terms of the different chiral ligands being used.
