✦ Synopsis
α-Hydroxyacids can be enantioselectively prepared by means of a two-step oxidation process, involving first the asymmetric dihydroxylation of a terminal alkene and subsequent oxidation with TEMPO/NaOCl/NaClO 2 in good to excellent yields. No fragmentation of the glycol intermediate was detected.

Asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of 1 (E)-alkenylphosphonates with an AD-m/x -ct or -~ reagent was examined to give a series of optically active threo-ot,~-dihydroxyphosphonates. Good enantioselectivity (>88% ee) was observed in the AD reaction of l(E)-alkenylphosphonates with conjugated aromatic sub
