Journal ArticleDOI
A well-defined complex for palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols: design, synthesis, and mechanistic considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elucidating the Significance of β-Hydride Elimination and the Dynamic Role of Acid/Base Chemistry in a Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols
TL;DR: A late transition state is proposed for beta-hydride elimination, which is further corroborated by theoretical calculations using density functional theory and supported by an apparent decomposition pathway modulated by [HOAc], a change in alcohol concentration dependence, a lack of [O(2)] dependence at high [ HOAc], and significant changes in the KIE values at different HOAc concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic investigations of the palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols using (-)-sparteine.
TL;DR: A key, nonintuitive discovery is that (-)-sparteine plays a dual role in this oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols as a chiral ligand on palladium and as an exogenous chiral base.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual role of (-)-sparteine in the palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols.
TL;DR: The mechanistic details of the palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols have been elucidated and (-)-Sparteine was found to have a dual role as a chiral ligand and an exogenous base.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of enantioselection in chiral alcohol oxidation catalyzed by Pd[(-)-sparteine]Cl2.
TL;DR: The main enhancement in enantiodetermination results from a concentration effect of (-)-sparteine HCl and the relative rates of reprotonation of the diastereomeric Pd-alkoxides.
