Enantioselective intramolecular oxidative amidation of alkenes has been achieved using a (pyrox)Pd(II)(TFA)(2) catalyst (pyrox = pyridine-oxazoline, TFA = trifluoroacetate) and O(2) as the sole stoichiometric oxidant. The reactions proceed at room temperature in good-to-excellent yields (58-98%) and with high enantioselectivity (ee = 92-98%). Catalyst-controlled stereoselective cyclization reactions are demonstrated for a number of chiral substrates. DFT calculations suggest that the electronic ...[more]
