Palladium Catalyzed Allylic C-H Oxidation Enabled by Bicyclic Sulfoxide Ligands

Yuming Wen, Jianfeng Zheng, Alex H. Evans & Qiang Zhang · Organics · 2023

The activation of C-H bonds is a potent tool for modifying molecular structures in chemistry. This article details the steps involved in a novel ligand bearing a bicyclic [3.3.1]-nonane framework and bissulfoxide moiety. A palladium catalyzed allylic C-H oxidation method enables...
