title: Pincer complex-catalyzed redox coupling of alkenes with iodonium salts via presumed palladium(IV) intermediates.
abstract: Palladium pincer complexes directly catalyze the redox coupling reactions of functionalized alkenes and iodonium salts. The catalytic process, which is suitable for mild catalytic functionalization of allylic acetates and electron-rich alkenes, probably occurs through Pd(IV) intermediates. Due to the strong metal-ligand interactions, the oxidation of phosphine and amine ligands of the pincer complexes can be avoided in the presented reactions.
