A series of optically active hypervalent iodine(III) reagents prepared from the corresponding (<i>R</i>)-2-(2-iodophenoxy)propanoate derivative was employed for the asymmetric dioxytosylation of styrene and its derivatives. The electrophilic addition of the hypervalent iodine(III) compound toward styrene proceeded with high enantioface selectivity to give 1-aryl-1,2-di(tosyloxy)ethane with an enantiomeric excess of 70-96% of the (<i>S</i>)-isomer. ...[more]
