Achieving direct C–H hydroxylation in a highly diastereo- and enantioselective manner is still a challenging goal. This reaction is mainly hindered by the potential for overoxidation of the generated alcohols as well as low stereoselectivity. Herein, we present an enantioselective benzylic C–H hydroxylation catalyzed by a manganese complex, H2O2, and a carboxylic acid in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The benzylic alcohols were successfully furnished in excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). As a highlight of this work, high diastereoselectivity of C–H hydroxylation could be achieved by tuning the amount of carboxylic acid additive.
