Abstract
X-Ray crystallographic analysis on single crystals and 1H NMR studies in solution of various bis-cinchona alkaloid derivatives reveal a general preference for a conformation which possesses a U-shaped binding pocket with favorable dimensions for the inclusion of olefinic substrates and the acceleration of face selective dihydroxylation by a proximate pentacoordinate OsO4.
