Reaction Steps

Catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction of trans-stilbene by using LDH-osmate of the formula IIa The reaction was performed by using an identical process as in Example 9 except the cinchona alkaloid is DHQD-CLB. (R,R)-(+)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethandiol of more than 98.0% of enantiomeric excess was obtained (yield 92%) [∝]D+91.32 (c 1.0, EtOH): e.e.=98.2%
