Replacing trifluoroacetic acid with it catalytic amount of Lewis acid in the osmium mediated oxidative cyclization results in higher yielding reactions that can proceed nearly an order of magnitude faster. The osmium loading can also be reduced to as little its 0.2 mol %. Furthermore, these mildly acidic conditions are capable of tolerating a wide range of acid sensitive protecting groups that are incompatible with previous cyclization conditions.

for the oxidative cyclization of 1,5-dienes, which generally allows for high yields and selectivities. A solid-supported terminal oxidant and a finely tuned solvent mixture have both been identified as critical factors for this high efficiency. As little as 0.2 mol-% ruthenium(III) chloride as a pre-catalyst for the rutheniumtetroxide generated in situ is required to accomplish oxidative cyclization
