  abstractNote={<jats:p>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Osmium tetroxide and TMEDA form stable crystalline adducts with alkenes.  The structure of liquid alkenes can be determined through X-ray analysis of these derivatives. Osmium, a heavy atom, facilitates the crystallographic analysis and the determination of the absolute configuration using common Mo X-ray sources. The utility of this method for assigning structures and absolute configurations was demonstrated on a number of unsaturated substrates that include simple alkenes, enones, enol ethers, and silyl enol ethers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</jats:p>},
