K. Barry Sharpless was the first to develop a general, reliable enantioselective alkene dihydroxylation, referred to as the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD). Low levels of OsO 4 are combined with a stoichiometric ferricyanide oxidant in the presence of chiral nitrogenous ligands to create an asymmetric environment around the oxidant.
In 1992, K.B. Sharpless showed that the asymmetric dihydroxylation conditions developed in his group could be harnessed to give either (R)- or (S)- α-hydroxy ketones from the corresponding silyl enol ethers depending on which Chinchona alkaloid-derived chiral ligands were employed. [22]
The Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation [7] was developed by K. Barry Sharpless to use catalytic amounts of OsO 4 along with the stoichiometric oxidant K 3 [Fe(CN) 6]. [1] [2] [8] The reaction is performed in the presence of a chiral auxiliary. The selection of dihydroquinidine (DHQD) or dihydroquinine (DHQ) as a chiral auxiliary dictates the ...
N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide (more correctly 4-methylmorpholine 4-oxide), NMO or NMMO is an organic compound.This heterocyclic amine oxide and morpholine derivative is used in organic chemistry as a co-oxidant and sacrificial catalyst in oxidation reactions for instance in osmium tetroxide oxidations and the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation or oxidations with TPAP.

Enantioselective synthesis, also called asymmetric synthesis, [1] is a form of chemical synthesis. It is defined by IUPAC as "a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chirality are formed in a substrate molecule and which produces the stereoisomeric ( enantiomeric or diastereomeric ) products in unequal ...
The two letters AD, stand for asymmetric dihydroxylation. The mix is available in two variations, "AD-mix α" and "AD-mix β" following ingredient lists published by Barry Sharpless. [1] The mixes contain: Potassium osmate K 2 OsO 2 (OH) 4 as the source of Osmium tetroxide; Potassium ferricyanide K 3 Fe(CN) 6, which is the re-oxidant in the ...
The Sharpless oxyamination (often known as Sharpless aminohydroxylation) is the chemical reaction that converts an alkene to a vicinal amino alcohol. The reaction is related to the Sharpless dihydroxylation , which converts alkenes to vicinal diols. [ 1 ]
