Dihydroxylation of Olefins with Potassium Permanganate Catalyzed­ by Imidazolium Salt

Abstract

The development of an efficient and cost-effective cis-di­hydroxylation reaction of acrylate derivatives was achieved. The reaction proceeded in acetone with an imidazolium salt as catalyst to furnish the dihydroxylation of olefins at 0–5 °C using KMnO₄ as the oxidant. This efficient and non-aqueous protocol was highly suitable for the large-scale preparation of cis-dihydroxylated compounds from the corresponding acrylate derivatives in high yields without overoxidation.

Key words

dihydroxylation - diols - acrylates - potassium permanganate - imidazolium salt
