Hi Seansheep, I don't get it, in my edit a tried to emphasize that this reaction predates Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation but in the way you have reverted it back to the original text you can only conclude that Sharpless was first followed by Upjohn and that does not makes sense. Also you have destroyed the valid link to Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (again!). Please consider making changes V8rik 17:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi V8rik - sorry about destroying your links, a messy copy-paste there. I've tried to clarify things by making the last bit into a different section, as there are essentially three reactions I'm talking about; Upjohn, AD and RD (discoverd in that order). Most people don't know about Warren's RD and it's an underused reaction that is really superior to the Upjohn procedure. But I don't think it merits a seperate article.
oh and thanks for sorting out the numbering on the references, although your way makes it a lot harder the read when editing! Is there a around that (I'm new to making articles in case you hadn't gatherd!)

  • Thanks for making the change. The referencing system is the official one and although I agree editing text may get somewhat difficult the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. V8rik 21:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
