title: Palladium-catalyzed diacetoxylation of alkenes with molecular oxygen as sole oxidant.
abstract: A new palladium-catalyzed diacetoxylation of alkenes using oxygen as the sole oxidant to afford diacetates was developed. High levels of diastereoselectivity in diacetoxylation of 1,2-disubstituted alkenes was obtained.
