Involatile OsO4! A tetrasubstituted olefin is immobilized on SiO2 and reacts with OsO4 to form a stable osmate(IV) ester (see scheme), which is a leak‐proof heterogeneous catalyst for the cis‐dihydroxylation of olefins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
