Abstract

Methods for achieving the vicinal difunctionalization of alkenes greatly facilitate the preparation of functionalized organic compounds. Examples of useful transformations include alkene dioxygenations,[1] aminooxidations,[2] and diaminations,[3] with many notable recent developments employing palladium catalysis. A common drawback to these processes is the use of precious and/or toxic transition-metal catalysts. We report herein a ...
