Abstract

We report the catalytic generation of a vinyl Pd-oxyallyl that dimerizes regiospecifically to form highly functionalized nonbridged cyclooctanoids. Such compounds are otherwise synthetically challenging, but highly useful in synthesis. This vinyl Pd-oxyallyl species demonstrates both electrophilic and nucleophilic properties. DFT calculations elucidate the mechanism and the origins of the chemoselective cyclooctanoid formation.
