The hydroxylation of a,B-unsaturated esters catalyzed by osmiumtetroride leads to 3,4-dihydroxy-y-lactones of predictable stereochemistry. We report here on the remarkable stereoselectivity encountered in the osmium tetroxide hydroxylation of E a,l-unsaturated esters bearing a y-hydroxgl function.

Olefins are catalytically oxidized to glycols by osmium tetroxide in the presence of organic selenoxide cooxidants. Glycols were obtained in good yields from mono-, di-, tri-and tetrasubstituted olefins. Osmium tetroxide is widely used as a catalyst for the cis-dihydroxylation of olefins in conjunct
High levels of asymmetry can be achieved in the osmium tetroxide cis-hydroxylation of olefins by employing (-)-(R,R)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylcyclohexane-l,2-traos-diamine as a chiral ligand for the osmium. Osmium tetroxide oxidation of olefins is an excellent method for forming vicinal diols under mil
