Abstract
The potential for application of micellar catalysis to synthetically useful transformations is large and unexplored. We present herein a brief summary of previous work in this area and preliminary results of our work aimed at using the environment of an anionic aqueous micelle to direct the course of the hydroxymercuration of organic substrates. We have found this medium to be both a useful way to selectively mono-functionalize non-conjugated dienes and to be able to control the competition between diol and cyclic ether formation in these same substrates.

a) Bambagiotti et al. (32b) report that this reaction yields a 1:1 mixture of mono-ol and diol. This discrepancy with the results in Ref. 6 is not commented on and we cannot explain it. We have, however, been able to reporduce the results in Ref. 31 and are thus content to compare our SLS system to the THF/H2O system reported in Ref. 31. If anything, comparison of our results in SLS to the results in Ref. 32b would make for an even more impressive contrast; (b) M. Bambagiotti, F. F. Vincieri and S. A. Coran, J. Org. Chem. 39, 680 (1974).
Support for this explanation can be inferred from the quantitative conversion of terpineol (II) to cineole (III) by mercuration in anhydrous THF: cf. J. M. Coxon, M. P. Hartshorn, J. W. Mitchell and K. E. Richards, Chem Ind. 652 (1968).
