Advancing the Mechanistic Understanding of an Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Alkene Difunctionalization Reaction.

The mechanism of an enantioselective palladium-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization reaction has been investigated. Kinetic analysis provides evidence of turnover-limiting attack of a proposed quinone methide intermediate with MeOH and suggests that copper is involved in productive product formation...
