49. 2 intermediate. However, we cannot exclude the possibility of an alternative, albeit unprecedented, mechanism involving anti-Markovnikov oxy-palladation followed by regioselective I-hydride elimination. (2a) Significantly, when using catalytic amounts of a bidentate bis-sulfoxide ligand, high branched regioselectivity for ester formation is observed. (2a, 2b) Mechanistic studies suggest this regio-outcome arises from inner sphere functionalization from an electronically dissymmetric φ-allylPd(BQ)carboxylate species. (2b, 2c, 4c)
