Catalytic Asymmetric Dihydroxylation of Aliphatic Olefins with Reusable Resin-Osmium Tetroxide

Asymmetric dihydroxylation of aliphatic olefins to chiral diols with good yields and ees by a heterogeneous Resin‐OsO4 catalyst using ferricyanide as cooxidant is disclosed for the first time. The catalyst was recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused for several times without significant loss of activity.
