Hey all,
Can you do Sharpless conditions without the chiral ligand (DHQ)2PHAL. Is K3Fe(CN)6 viable as a stoichiometric oxidant for the dihydroxylation without the presence of the ligand. My quick search makes me think it should be fine. I do not mind if I get racemic. The mechanism based on the first page to Meyers' lecture seems to be that it should be fine.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Cheers!

Sorry I am just wondering about this. My plan is to use Upjohn's conditions most likely. Wanted to clarify my thinking.
Cheers!

It should be fine without the ligand. I have used OsO4 with periodate but then you get the aldehyde.

Good to know rolnor. Appreciate it.
I think I am just going to try it and see. To be honest I was lazy today and haven't dove into the literature. I will read the paper on the potassium ferriccyanide reaction on that Meyers' page.
Thanks again!

I shouldn't have been lazy.
