Although optically active syn-1,2-diols with extremely high ee's are readily accessible using the Sharpless AD reaction of trans-disubstitued olefins, anti-diols can be obtained with moderate to good ee's from the AD reaction of cis-olefins (syn-1-phenyl-1,2-propanediol 5b with 97% ee vs anti-1-phenyl-1,2-propanediol 5a with 72% ee).
