Abstract

Abstract: Selective palladium-catalyzed aerobic conditions of olefins and conjugated dienes with the aid of a metal macrocycle-quinone system have been developed. This involves a multistep electron transfer with three catalysts (Pd (OAc) 2, hydroquinone, metal macrocycle). The triple catalytic system was applied to (i) 1, 4-oxidation of conjugated dienes (1, 4-diacetoxylation and 1, 4-dialkoxylation),(ii) oxidation of terminal olefins to ...
