A new method for the synthesis of vicinal diols from alkenes has been developed. Reaction of molecular iodine in the presence of a polyoxometalate as oxidation catalyst under aerobic conditions in acetic acid solvent leads to the oxidative iodoacetoxylation of an alkene, i.e. formation of a 1,2-iodoacetate. Further in situ substitution of the iodide by water yields the 1,2-diol monoacetate with a predominantly (ca. 4.5:1) cis-configuration. Further esterification under the reaction's acidic conditions leads also to the cis-diacetate. The method may be valuable for the synthesis of cis-vicinal diols without use of toxic osmium catalysts.

cis-Diol and trans-diol derivatives can be prepared from alkenes by reaction with iodine and bismuth(III) acetate in 'wet' and 'dry' acetic acid, respectively.Reactions using lesser amounts of bismuth(III) acetate under 'dry' conditions give iodo acetates and under 'wet' conditions a mixture of iodohydrins and iodo ethers.Comparison of these reactions with those promoted by silver, copper, mercury and thallium salts is included.
