Abstract

We are reporting a mild, chemo-, and highly regioselective Pd(II)-catalyzed allylic oxidation of α-olefins to furnish branched allylic esters that proceeds via a novel serial ligand catalysis mechanism in which two different ligands (i.e., vinyl sulfoxide 2 and BQ) interact sequentially with the metal to promote distinct steps of the catalytic cycle (i.e., C-H cleavage and π-allyl functionalization, respectively).
