Abstract

AbstractA continuous‐flow protocol for Pd‐catalyzed olefin cleavage by using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant to give carbonyl compounds was explored. The developed flow protocol allowed the use of a low catalyst loading (0.1 mol %), and decomposition of the active catalyst was prevented through stabilization by poly(ethylene glycol)‐400 (PEG‐400), which was present as a cosolvent. Radical scavengers inhibited the reaction, which indicated the involvement of a free‐radical path in the reaction mechanism. The applicability of the continuous‐flow protocol was demonstrated on several olefin substrates. The continuous‐flow process enabled safe and scalable olefin cleavage.
