Palladium-catalyzed oxidative difunctionalization of olefins is a heavily investigated field of research [Eq.(1)].[1] Dioxygenations,[2] diamidations,[3] and oxyamidations [4] have been realized. However, compared to difunctionalization, in which two heteroatom-containing groups are added to the olefin, and even when considering metals other than palladium, there are only very few reports on intermolecular metalmediated oxidative ...
