2 Materials and Methods General 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker Avance III 400 (400MHz) (100 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts are recorded as δ in units of parts per million (ppm). The residual solvent peak was used as an internal reference. 19 F NMR was performed on a Bruker Avance III 400 (400MHz) spectrometer. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained on the Q-Tof Premier mass spectrometer (Waters Corporation) and reported in units of mass of charge ratio (m/z). Enantiomeric excess values were determined by chiral HPLC analysis on Shimadzu LC-20AT and LC-2010CHT HPLC workstations. Optical rotations were measured in ethyl acetate using a 1 ml cell with a 1 dm path length on a Jasco P-1030 polarimeter with a sodium lamp of wavelength 589 nm and reported as follows: [a] D rt (c = g/100 ml, solvent). Melting points (mp) were measured in Opti Melt MPA100 equipment and uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded with neat solid/liquid samples on a Shimadzu IR- Prestige-21 spectrometer and reported in wave numbers (cm -1 ). X-ray crystallography analysis was performed on Bruker X8 APEX X-ray diffraction meter. Flash chromatography separations were performed on Merck 60 ( mm) mesh silica gel. Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates. Visualization was performed using a UV lamp or potassium permanganate stain or p-anisaldehyde stain. Materials THF were distilled over sodium/benzophenone under N2 atmosphere. Toluene, Acetonitrile and Dichloromethane were distilled over CaH2 under N2 atmosphere. Aryl acetates were purchased from commercial suppliers. Aryl ketoesters were prepared from aryl bromides according to reported literature 1. Wittig reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers or prepared from alkyl bromides according to reported literature 2. Potassium permanganate was ground into fine powder before use. Tetrabutylammonium permanganate was prepared according to literature 3. All racemates were prepared with stoichiometric amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide.

These results ruled out the possibility of in situ oxidation of dihydroxylation product to generate oxohydroxylation product. Figure S6. Control Experiments to Test the Possibility of E, Z Isomerization Under Asymmetric Permanganate Oxidation Condition. These results ruled out E/Z isomerization of enoates under the permanganate oxidation conditions and suggested comparable level of asymmetric induction for both E, Z-enoates. S8

9 Catalyst Stability Investigation In order to test the stability of the catalyst under KMnO4 oxidation condition, we performed the following experiment. To the bisguanidinium catalyst BG-III ( mmol, 5 mg) in tert-butyl methyl ether (1 ml) was added KMnO4 (0.17 mmol, 26 mg, 50 equiv.) in one portion. The resulting mixture was stirred vigorously at room temperature for 1 h. Then it was quenched by drops of saturated Na2S2O3 solution and extracted with Et2O (2 2 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried with Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was characterized by 19 F NMR analysis. Only one main peak ( = ) was found which is identical to the bisguanidinium catalyst. Figure S7. Investigation of Stability of Bisguanidinium Catalysts (BG-III) Under KMnO 4 Oxidation Condition. S9

10 Anion Exchange and Counteranion Effects We performed anion exchange experiments with BG-III[2Cl - ]. We found that the counteranion [Cl - ] can be easily changed into [I - ] or [BArF - ] by stirring the BG-III[2Cl - ] with KI or NaBArF in DCM at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by TLC. Surprisingly, after anion exchange, the TLC polarity of BG-III[2I - ] and BG-III[2BArF - ] is much smaller than BG-III[2Cl - ]. BG-III[2I - ] and BG-III[2BArF - ] was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. 1 H NMR analysis confirmed that both chloride anions were exchanged in BG-III [2BArF - ]. We then performed asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1a with BG-III[2I - ] and found that higher ee was obtained than with BG-III[2Cl - ]. Figure S8.

(COCl)2 (1.66 ml, 19.3 mmol, 8.0 equiv) was added via syringe in one portion. The mixture was heated to 90 o C for about 12 h, and then refluxed for 1 h. Toluene was removed under reduced pressure and solid imidazoline salt was obtained directly for the next step without any purification. The imidazoline salt was dissolved in dry MeCN (2 ml) under nitrogen atmosphere, and then piperazine (62 mg, 0.72 mmol, 0.3 equiv) was added, followed by the addition of Et3N (1 ml, 7.23 mmol, 3.0 equiv). Then the whole solution was heated to reflux for 12 h and cooled to rt. Add 1M HCl (20 ml) to the reaction solution and the mixture was extracted by CH2Cl2 (20 ml 3). Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and bis-guanidinium salt BG-I was obtained by flash chromatography (silica gel, DCM-Methanol 100:1-30:1), as a beige powder, 695 mg, 68% yield. Other fluorinated bisguanidinium catalysts were prepared following similar procedure from the corresponding thiourea.

A 4 ml vial was charged with bisguanidium catalyst (0.5 umol, 2 mol%) and tert-butyl - phenylacrylate 1a (5.0 mg, mmol) and 0.5 ml solvent. The resulting mixture was then cooled to -60 o C. Deionized water or aqueous salt solutions (0.05 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred mixture, during which icy particles were formed. (We found that this protocol provide the best results. The reproducibility of this protocol is quite good. All other methods follow this protocol with aqueous additive added under cryogenic condition dropwise.) Potassium permanganate (5.9 mg, mmol) was then added to the reaction in one batch. After completion, the reaction was diluted with ether and allowed to warm to room temperature. The organic layer was dried through a pipette column of anhydrous Na2SO4 and then concentrated, followed by column chromatography on silica gel with a pipette affording pure diol product for HPLC analysis. Method B: 0.2 mmol scale for extension of dihydroxylation substrate scope. A 8 ml vial was charged with bisguanidinium catalyst BG-IV (5.6 mg, mmol, 2 mol%) and tert-butyl -arylacrylate 1 (0.2 mmol) and 4 ml TBME. The resulting mixture was then cooled to -60 o C. Aqueous 20 wt% KI (0.2 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred mixture, during which icy particles were formed. Potassium permanganate (47.4 mg, 0.3 mmol) was then added to the reaction in one batch. After completion, the reaction was diluted with ether and quenched with saturated Na2S2O3 (1 ml) and allowed to warm to room S24

25 temperature. The organic layer was dried through a column of anhydrous Na2SO4 with the aqueous layer extracted with ether and dried. The organic layer was combined and concentrated and then columned on silica gel, affording pure chiral diol products. Method C: 0.05 mmol scale for optimization of reaction condition with enoates 4a. A 4 ml vial was charged with bisguanidinium catalyst (1.4 mg, mmol) and tert-butyl 2- (3-methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoate (4a, E : Z = 1.3 : 1) (10 mg, 0.05 mmol) and 1 ml TBME. Acetic acid (10 ul) was added if needed. The resulting mixture was then cooled to -60 o C. Deionized water or aqueous solutions (0.05 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred mixture, during which icy particles were formed. Potassium permanganate (11.8 mg, mmol) was then added to the reaction in one batch. After reaction for 48 hours, the reaction was diluted with ether and quenched with saturated Na2S2O3 (0.5 ml) and allowed to warm to room temperature. The organic layer was dried through a column of anhydrous Na2SO4 with the aqueous layer extracted with ether and dried. The organic layer was combined and concentrated for 1 H NMR analysis. The crude product was then columned on silica gel, affording oxidized products for HPLC analysis. Method D: 0.2 mmol scale for extension of oxohydroxylation substrate scope. A 8 ml vial was charged with bisguanidinium catalyst BG-III (5.6 mg, mmol, 2 mol%) and tert-butyl enoate 4 (0.2 mmol), acetic acid (40 ul) and 4 ml TBME. The resulting mixture was then cooled to -60 o C. Deionized water (0.2 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred mixture, during which icy particles were formed. Potassium permanganate (47.4 mg, 0.3 mmol) was then added to the reaction in one batch. After completion of the reaction, the reaction was diluted with ether and quenched with saturated Na2S2O3 (1 ml) and allowed to warm to room temperature. The organic layer was passed through a column of silica gel covered with anhydrous Na2SO4 with the aqueous layer extracted with ether. The organic layer was combined and concentrated and then columned on silica gel, affording oxohydroxylated products. Method E: 4 mmol scale reaction of tert-butyl 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)but-2-enoate (4a). A 250 ml round-bottom flask was charged with bisguanidium catalyst BG-III (56 mg, 0.04 mmol, 1 mol%) and tert-butyl enoate 4a (1.0g, 4 mmol), acetic acid (800 ul) and 80 ml TBME. The resulting mixture was then cooled to -60 o C. Deionized water (4 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred mixture, during which icy particles were formed. Potassium permanganate (948 mg, 6 mmol) was then added to the reaction in one batch. After reaction for 72 hours, the reaction was diluted with ether and quenched with saturated Na2S2O3 and allowed to warm to room temperature. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether. The combined organic layer was passed through a column of silica gel covered with anhydrous Na2SO4. The organic layer was then concentrated and columned on silica gel, affording oxohydroxylated products 6a in 81% yield and 92% ee. S25

26 Reduction of Oxohydroxylated Product 6a Reduction of (R)-tert-butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate (6a) with sodium borohydride: To a stirred solution of (R)-tert-butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(3- methoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate 6a (76.5 mg, mmol) in ethanol (2.7 ml) was added sodium borohydride (6.2 mg, mmol, 0.6 eq) at 0 o C. After 30 min, TLC indicated full conversion of the starting material. Water was added at 0 o C to quench the reaction followed by addition of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was concentrated for 1 H NMR analysis, which indicated a ratio of 5a/5a = 1:1.07. The crude product was then purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (5:1), affording diol 5a (94% ee) and 5a (88% ee) in 93% combined yield (71.7 mg). Excessive sodium borohydride will lead to a decreased yield. Reduction of (R)-tert-butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate (6a) with sodium borohydride and zinc chloride 7 : An oven-dried round-bottom flask was charged with anhydrous zinc chloride (68 mg, 0.5 mmol) and sodium borohydride (19 mg, 0.5 mmol) and dry THF (3 ml) and protected with nitrogen. To the stirred mixture was added with (R)-tert-butyl 2-hydroxy-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxobutanoate 6a (114 mg, 0.41 mmol) in dry THF (1 ml) at 0 o C. After full conversion of the starting material checked by TLC, water was added at 0 o C to quench the reaction followed by addition of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined orgaic layer was concentrated for 1 H NMR analysis, which indicated a ratio of 5a/5a = 10:1. The crude product was then purified by column chromatography on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (5:1), affording diol 5a (94% ee) and 5a (91% ee) in 92% combined yield (105.8 mg). S26
