title: Phase selectively soluble dendrimer-bound osmium complex: a highly effective and easily recyclable catalyst for olefin dihydroxylation.
abstract: A new switched biphasic catalysis system for highly effective olefin dihydroxylation has been described, in which the dendritic osmium catalyst preferred to dissolve in the non-polar organic layer and could be easily separated from the polar diol products through phase separation induced by addition of water at the end of the reaction.
