摘要

Primary mechanism of a Pd-II-catalyzed 8-aminoquinoline-directed C-H alkoxylation was investigated. It was understood that the Pd-II-catalyzed C(sp(3))-O bond formation proceeded through a concerted reductive elimination from the Pd-IV intermediate in the cyclic system. Deuteration experiments and related computational studies elucidate that intrinsic conformation determined the diastereoselectivity of the Pd-II-catalyzed C-H alkoxylation of cyclic carboxylic acids.
