Enantiomerically enriched trans-diols from alkenes in one pot: a multicatalyst approach

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Mar 4;48(19):2498-500. doi: 10.1039/c2cc17435a. Epub 2012 Jan 30.

Abstract

Multicatalysts consisting of non-natural oligopeptides with distinctly different catalytic moieties create molecular complexity in a multistep one-pot sequence starting from simple alkenes yielding highly enantiomerically enriched trans-diols.
