Palladium-catalyzed allylic acyloxylation of terminal alkenes in the presence of a base.
The efficiency and the selectivity of the Pd-catalyzed oxidation, in carboxylic acids, of terminal alkenes are strongly improved in the presence of a base. The methodology is particularly well adapted for the oxidation of homoallylic alcohols, for which the resulting acyloxylated products are obtained selectively as E-isomers in fair to good yields.
