It is shown in this study that the inexpensive N -methylmorpholine N -oxide can be successfully employed as a reoxidant in the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction on a large scale. The reaction of o -isopropoxy- m -methoxystyrene on a 2 kg scale gave the corresponding diol in high yield and high enantiomeric excess. The extension of this synthetic method to other olefins is also presented.
