41. 3, and -OC(O)NH(p-OMe)Ph with less acidic N-H bonds showed poor reactivities. Addition of 10 mol% Hunig's base to p-anisyl carbamate substrate gave no significant improvement (SI-9 and ref 24).
42. (a) 1,1-disubstituted and 1,2-disubstituted olefin substrates proceeded with poor conversions (30%) and yields (ca. 8-12% as mixtures of oxidative amination products), (b) Methyl 2-(tosylcarbamoyloxy)pent-4-enoate gave a complex mixture of products (ca. 30% anti-oxazolidinone identified) (SI-8,9).

48. Unlike allylic C-H oxidation, Pd/sulfoxide-catalyzed allylic C-H amination does not require quinone for functionalization and therefore does not proceed via a serial ligand catalysis mechanism. See ref 10a.
49. 1-Phenyl-3-buten-1-N-tosyl carbamate substrate gives 4-phenyl-1,3-butadiene. This result is consistent with β-N-tosyl carbamate elimination from a π-allylPd intermediate (SI-22).
50. 1H NMR monitoring at 5, 24, 48, and 72 h (signal/noise > 500:1) (SI-24). The possibility that trace levels of 17 and/or 18 form under standard reaction conditions and contribute to formation of 3a cannot be rigorously excluded.
51. Previous work (ref 1a and ref 1b) in Pd(0)-mediated allylic substitution reactions has shown that the poor nucleophilic properties of carbamates require the use of their respective anions to achieve reactivity with π-allylpalladium intermediates.
52. 4NOAc to the catalytic reaction conditions gave 3a in 20% yield.
