Switchable catalytic transformation of reactants can be a powerful approach towards diversity-orientated synthesis from easily available molecular synthons. Herein, an endogenous ligand-controlled, Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution allowing for either selective C?N or C?S bond formation using vinylethylene carbonates (VECs) and N-sulfonylhydrazones as coupling partners has been developed. This versatile methodology provides a facile, divergent route for the highly chemo- and stereoselective synthesis of functional allylic sulfones or sulfonohydrazides. The newly developed protocol features wide substrate scope (nearly 80 examples), broad functional group tolerance, and potential for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds. The isolation and crystallographic analysis of a catalytically competent π-allyl Pd complex suggests that the pathway leading to the allylic products proceeds through a different manifold as previously proposed for the functionalization of VECs with nucleophiles.
