CCL: Dihydroxyl compound

 Kevin,
 
Geminal diols >C(OH)2 are very rarely stable enough to put them onto the table in pure crystalline form. An example is chloralhydrate CCl3-CH(OH)2 or the reagent ninhydrine. They are stable only if strong electron attracting groups are attached to the carbon atom. However, in aqueous solution they can exist in equilibrium form with the corresponding keton or aldehyde.

 Hi CCLers,
  I am working on a compound which has two hydroxyl groups on the same secondary
 carbon atom (not primary),
 
might someone inform me about the stability of a dihydroxyl compound and its synthetic reliability (I mean is a compound like this stable?).
  Some references are appreciated as I have found only a few articles on this
 kind of compound.
  Best Regards
  Kevin
