A novel palladium-catalyzed alkene diacetoxylation with dioxygen (O2) as both the sole oxidant and oxygen source is developed, which was identified by 18O-isotope labeling studies. Control experiments suggested that bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) played a dominant intermediary role in the formation of a C-O bond. This method performed good functional group tolerance with moderate to excellent yields, which could be successfully applied to the late-stage modification of natural products. Furthermore, an atmospheric pressure of dioxygen enhances the practicability of the protocol.

Oxidation of α- and β-unsaturated alkylbenzenes by peroxydisulphate in acetic acid gives side-chain acetoxylation with formation of the corresponding glycol diacetates and compounds (10), respectively.The reaction is catalysed by transition-metal salts, among which cupric acetate gives the best results.Generally, electron-releasing substituents on the benzene ring increase the yield and improve the selectivity.The same substrates are oxidized in water under Ag+ catalysis to the corresponding aldehydes.The different behaviour in the two solvents is ascribed to the difference in reactivity between the primary oxidation products and the starting olefin, whereas the initial oxidation step is suggested to occur in both cases via an electron-transfer process from the olefin to the sulphate radical anion.
