19. 3, 0.25 mmol (1.0 equiv) of the alcohol or meso diol, and 25 mg of freshly activated crushed molecular sieves (3 Å) were combined. The flask was then attached to the bottom of a reflux condenser. A balloon filled with oxygen gas was then attached to the top of the condenser via a three-way joint. The apparatus was then evacuated (water aspirator) and refilled with oxygen from the balloon three times and heated in an oil bath at 65 °C. Aliquots (0.1 mL) of the reaction were then periodically taken via syringe. The aliquot was quenched with 2% TFA/methanol. The sample was analyzed with use of a GC or HPLC equipped with a chiral column.
