The acrolein acetal is then subjected to asymmetric dihydroxylation, a reaction that introduces two hydroxyl groups onto the carbon-carbon double bond of the acrolein moiety. Asymmetric dihydroxylation is often carried out using chiral ligands and oxidizing agents such as OsO? (osmium tetroxide) or other osmium-based catalysts.
