Abstract

The Pd-mediated oxidation of unsaturated thioacetals gives either allyl or vinyl esters, depending on the substrate structure. We report the characterization of a range of sulfur-stabilized palladium intermediates via a combined computational and experimental NMR approach, demonstrating that the oxidation proceeds via two divergent reaction mechanisms. We were also able to synthesize an unusual sigma-bound Pd complex, via acetoxypalladation of an unsaturated dithiane, which was characterized by X-ray crystallography.
