23. While this work was in progress, two independent reports on the sequential cross-metathesis-dihydroxylation starting from methyl acrylate and various olefins appeared. However, the syn-diols were obtained as a racemate. (a) Beligny, S.; Eibauer, S.; Maechling, S.; Blechert, S. Angew. Chem. 2006, 119, 1933;
