This paper discloses the efficient palladium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov oxidative acetalization of activated terminal olefins with iron(iii) sulfate as the reoxidant. This methodology requires mild reaction conditions and shows high regioselectivity toward anti-Markovnikov products and compatibility with a wide range of functional groups. Iron(iii) sulphate was the sole reoxidant used in this method. Various olefins like vinylarenes, aryl-allylethers, aryl or benzyl acrylates and homoallylic alcohols all reacted well providing anti-Markovnikov acetals, some of which represent orthogonally functionalized 1,3- and 1,4-dioxygenated compounds.
Intermolecular Electrophilic Addition of Epoxides to Alkenes: [3+2] Cycloadditions Catalyzed by Lewis Acids

Described are the first examples of intermolecular electrophilic additions of epoxides to alkenes, which proceed through a classic cationic mechanism initiated by epoxide C–O bond cleavage. Treatment of styrene oxides and either styrenes or dienes with a variety of Lewis-acidic triflate salts generates tetrahydrofurans as products of [3+2] cycloaddition in moderate to good yields (up to 71 %). Careful choice of catalyst and reaction conditions favors the desired intermolecular reaction over epoxide degradation without requiring additional reagents or additives. The reaction proceeds diastereoselectively and provides only one regioisomer of the product. Additional highlights include inexpensive precursors, mild conditions, short reaction times, low catalyst loading, and scalability.
