29. Because most of the enantiomeric impurity in 7 is converted into the minor diastereomer ent-17b during the asymmetric dihydroxylation (7 to 17a/b), the major diastereomer diol 17a was isolated in essentially enantiomeric pure form. Consequently, the minor diastereomer I7b must be formed with lower enantiopurity. For other examples of this enantio-enriching phenomena, see: Ahmed, Md. M.; Berry, B. P.; Hunter, T. J.; Tomcik, D. J.; O'Doherty, G. A. Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 745-748.
