25. For comparative purposes, the racemate was obtained by carrying out the identical reaction, in the absence of ligand, to afford (±)-8 in 89% yield. This reaction was appreciably slower, taking 18 h at room temperature.

As the dihydroxylation is stereospecific, this means that the absolute stereochemistry at C2 must be R. As expected, the absolute configuration matches that predicted by the Sharpless stereoselectivity rules.
