ABSTRACT
[reaction: see text] The oxidation of olefins by chiral monometallic and bimetallic Pd(II)-Cu(II) catalysts in bromide-containing aqueous-THF reaction mixtures produced chiral 1,2-dibromides. With alpha-olefins, the ee's were about 95% while most of the internal alkenes gave somewhat lower enantioselectivities ( approximately 80%).
