摘要
The reaction of a metal oxide with a double bond is the initial step in the osmium-catalyzed cis-dihydroxylation of olefins. The mechanism of the addition of osmium tetraoxide and rhenium(VII) oxides across C=C bonds was controversial. Early work indicated a [3+2] addition, and later kinetic studies suggested an initial [2+2] addition, whereas recent quantum-chemical calculations showed the [3+2] addition to be favored. Experiment and theory have now become reconciled. In this Account, we discuss recent contributions to the mechanistic debate as well as future challenges.
