Hi
I need some help with the following reactions:
1. cis-1-phenyl-but-1-ene + osmium textroxide + aq sodium bisulfite
2. trans-1-phenyl-but-1-ene + osmium tetroxide + aq sodium bisulfite
To make things simpler, I am attaching a diagram which includes my solution. Reaction 2 is clear to me but I think another product should be formed in the first reaction according to the principle that if a stereogenic center is created in a reaction, all configurations about it are formed. Is this reasoning correct?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Vivek
