A catalytic hydroxyl-directed anti-dihydroxylation of allylic and homoallylic alcohols has been developed. This operationally simple method was successfully applied to the direct anti-monodihydroxylation of allylic alcohols containing at least one distal olefinic unit. Under the catalysis of commercially available MoO₂(acac)₂, an array of hydroxylated dienes were successfully converted into various 1,2,3-triols using hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant under aerobic conditions, notably, in complete regioselectivities and in the most cases in diastereospecific pathway.

钼催化的烯丙醇和均烯丙基醇的羟基定向抗二羟基化

已经开发了烯丙基和均烯丙基醇的催化羟基定向的抗二羟基化。这种操作简单的方法已成功地应用于含有至少一个远端烯烃单元的烯丙基醇的直接抗单二羟基化反应。在市售MoO ₂（acac）₂的催化下，使用过氧化氢作为环境良性氧化剂，在有氧条件下，特别是在完全区域选择性和氢键作用下，成功地将一系列羟基化的二烯成功转化为各种1,2,3-三醇。大多数情况下采用非对映特异性途径。
