The mechanistically designed bis-cinchona alkaloid derivative 3 serves as an excellent catalytic ligand in the OsO4-promoted catalytic enantioselective dihydroxylation of the terminal isopropylidene group in farnesyl, geranylgeranyl, and solanesyl esters and also squalene, with selectivity as high as 120:1 with E,E-farnesyl acetate. H-1 NMR and X-ray studies support the conformation described by 3 in which the U-shaped catalytic binding pocket is composed of the two 6-(4-heptyloxy)-quinoline units (sides and rear) and the naphthopyridazine linker (bottom).
