47. This is of importance since a (π-allyl) intermediate would yield allylic acetates from the attack of the acetate nucleophile at Cl and C3, whereas in acetoxypalladation the acetoxylation occurs at Cl and C2 (see Scheme 2).

56. A 1:1 mixture of allylic acetate (2 and 3) and bis-allylic diacetate (15 and 16) was obtained.
57. With this oxidation system, numerous additional products were observed by capillary GLC. No attempt at isolation or identification of these side-products was made.

74. 1H NMR integrals of H1, H2, and H3 has a value less than that expected from the amount of deuterium in the substrate.
75. The results do not suggest the involvement of an acetoxypalladation.

77. Under these conditions, that is in the presence of strong acid, a control experiment with 7 showed that some isomerization to 8 by an 1,3- allylic transposition occurs parallel to the rearrangement of allylic to homoallylic acetate. Therefore, the labeling experiments under these conditions can not be used as strong evidence for the (π-allyl) pathway.
78. Minor formation of 1,4-diacetate 12 was observed.
