title: An experimentally derived model for stereoselectivity in the aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by (sparteine)PdCl2.
abstract: A model for asymmetric induction in palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution is described. The model is based on coordination complexes and general reactivity trends of the parent (sp)PdCl2 catalyst. The first example of a nonracemic chiral palladium alkoxide complex is presented, and exhibits the subtle steric influences of the C1 symmetric ligand sparteine.
