Notes:
---Palladium-catalyzed acryloxylation of several cycloalkenes in the presence of the Pd(OAc)2/p-benzoquinone/MnO2 catalytic system is reported. This oxidation reaction yields allylic acrylates as the sole products through the intermediacy of an η3-allyl complex. However, with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (3), cyclooct-4-enone (4) is the major reaction product. Its formation results from oxidation, which is also observed in the palladium-catalyzed acetoxylation of 3. It has been shown that this is the result of a 1,2-trans addition (acryloxy-palladation), followed by a β-hydride elimination, which yields an enol acrylate or acetate. A second Markovnikov-oriented 1,2-trans-acryloxy-palladation on the latter yields a palladium complex, rearrangement of which gives 4.
