A novel palladium-catalyzed alkene diacetoxylation with dioxygen (O2) as both the sole oxidant and oxygen source is developed, which was identified by 18O-isotope labeling studies. Control experiments suggested that bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) played a dominant intermediary role in the formation of a C-O bond. This method performed good functional group tolerance with moderate to excellent yields, which could be successfully applied to the late-stage modification of natural products. Furthermore, an atmospheric pressure of dioxygen enhances the practicability of the protocol.

Product release is the rate-determining step in the arene syn-dihydroxylation reaction taking place at Rieske oxygenase enzymes and is regarded as a difficult problem to be resolved in the design of iron catalysts for olefin syn-dihydroxylation with potential utility in organic synthesis. Toward this end, in this work a novel catalyst bearing a sterically encumbered tetradentate ligand based in the tpa (tpa = tris(2-methylpyridyl)amine) scaffold, [FeII(CF3SO3)2(5-tips3tpa)], 1 has been designed. The steric demand of the ligand was envisioned as a key element to support a high catalytic activity by isolating the metal center, preventing bimolecular decomposition paths and facilitating product release. In synergistic combination with a Lewis acid that helps sequestering the product, 1 provides good to excellent yields of diol products (up to 97% isolated yield), in short reaction times under mild experimental conditions using a slight excess (1.5 equiv) of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, from the oxidation of a broad range of olefins. Predictable site selective syn-dihydroxylation of diolefins is shown. The encumbered nature of the ligand also provides a unique tool that has been used in combination with isotopic analysis to define the nature of the active species and the mechanism of activation of H2O2. Furthermore, 1 is shown to be a competent synthetic tool for preparing O-labeled diols using water as oxygen source.

Reduction of 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione with baker's yeast afforded (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-1,2-propanediol in high chemical and optical yield. (1R,2S)-, (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-1,2-propanediols were also prepared via (1R)- or (2S)-α-ketols, which were obtained as intermediates of the above reaction.
