Site-selective oxidation of vicinal bis(boronates) is accomplished through the use of trimethylamine N-oxide in 1-butanol solvent. The reaction occurs with good efficiency and selectivity across a range of substrates, providing 2-hydro-1-boronic esters which are shown to be versatile intermediates in the synthesis of chiral building blocks.

Catalytic enantioselective diboration of alkenes is accomplished with readily available carbohydrate-derived catalysts. Mechanistic experiments suggest the intermediacy of 1,2-bonded diboronates.

To obtain information about the effect that methanesulfonamide has in the hydrolysis step in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, a series of aliphatic and conjugated aromatic olefins were dihydroxylated with and without methanesulfonamide. The hypothesis in this study was that methanesulfonamide is a cosolvent that aids in the transfer of the hydroxide ions from the water phase to the organic phase. A plot of t90% versus the computational partition coefficient clog P of the intermediate osmate ester of nonterminal aliphatic olefins revealed that the polarity of the intermediate osmate ester has a significant effect on the reaction time and methanesulfonamide effect. The more polar the intermediate osmate ester, the faster is the reaction without methanesulfonamide and the smaller the accelerating methanesulfonamide effect. Methanesulfonamide had no accelerating effect in the asymmetric dihydroxylation of short chain terminal aliphatic olefins as a result of easier accessibility of terminal osmate ester groups to the water phase. A cosolvent hypothesis was found not to be valid in asymmetric dihydroxylations of conjugated aromatic olefins. In the reaction conditions used in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, weakly acidic methanesulfonamide was found to be a general acid catalyst that protonates the intermediate osmate esters of conjugated aromatic olefins in the hydrolysis step.
