Dihydroxylation with peroxides: The 1,2‐dihydroxy structural motif, which can be generated from a CC bond, occurs widely in organic compounds. Advances in the syn dihydroxylation of alkenes with cyclic acyl peroxides broaden the application of this transformation for a variety of olefins (see scheme). In recent studies the scope, limitations, and a mechanistic pathway have been delineated.
