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, not just catalyst turnover. Through examination of substrate electronic effects, a Jaffé relationship was observed correlating rate to electronic perturbation at two positions of the substrate. Liga ...[more]
