The asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of o-cyano cinnamates and styrene derivatives leads to efficient construction of chiral phthalide frameworks in high optical purities. This unique reaction is characterized by unusual synergism between CN and osmate groups resulting in rate enhancement of the AD process. The method is amply demonstrated by the synthesis and the structural/stereochemical assignment of the natural products.

The present invention discloses single step, highly enantioselective catalytic oxidative cyclization process for the synthesis of 3-substituted chiral phthalides. In particular, the invention discloses asymmetric synthesis of chiral phthalides via synergetic nitrile accelerated oxidative cyclization of o-cyano substituted aryl alkenes in high yield and enantiomeric excess (ee) in short reaction time. Also, disclosed herein is "one -pot" asymmetric synthesis of biologically important natural compounds having 3-substituted chiral phthalide structural framework in the molecule.
