The suprafacial hydroxylation of olefins by osmium tetraoxide, though a much used synthetic method, would become even more important if three conditions could be met: (1) modification to achieve high and predictable enantioselectivity and acyclic diastereoselectivity, (2) clarification of reaction mechanism, and (3) facilitated recovery and recycling of osmium. This paper reports progress on all three fronts.
