A new catalytic protocol has been established by using two separate oxidation reactions, catalysed by osmium, in tandem. Control of the pH and oxidation state of the metal is crucial in controlling this new sequence, which begins with a tethered aminohydroxylation reaction (Os(VIII) is active) and is followed by an oxidative cyclisation under acidic conditions (Os(VI) is active). The result of this
