The palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution of key pharmaceutical building blocks is described. Substrates investigated are relevant to the enantioselective preparation of Prozac, Singulair, and the promising hNK-1 receptor antagonist from Merck. The latter provides the most selective aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution yet described.
