I performed dihydroxylation of alkenes in presence of catalyst osmium tetroxide and co-oxidant NMO. Final product is diol. How can we separate osmium tetroxide and co-oxidant NMO from final product diol?
Di asymmetric Sharpless dihydroxylation is the chemical reaction of an alkene with osmium tetroxide.Is common practice to carry out this reaction by using a catalytic amount of osmium tetroxide, which is regenerated after the reaction with potassium ferricyanide or N-methylmorpholine oxide , this dramatically reduces the amount of highly toxic osmium tetroxide and very costly necessary
