Palladium(II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative amination of styrene with oxazolidinone proceeds with catalyst-controlled regioselectivity: (CH3CN)(2)PdCl2 (1) and (Et3N)(2)PdCl2 (2) catalyze formation of the anti-Markovnikov and Markovnikov enecarbamate products, 3 and 4, respectively. Kinetic studies and deuterium kinetic isotope effects demonstrate that these two reactions possess different rate-limiting steps, and the data indicate that the product regiochemistry arises from the presence or absence of an effective Bronsted base in the reaction. In the presence of a Bronsted base such as triethylamine or acetate, the kinetically preferred Markovnikov aminopalladation adduct of styrene is trapped via rapid deprotonation of a zwitterionic intermediate and leads to formation of 4. In the absence of an effective Bronsted base, however, slow deprotonation of this adduct enables aminopalladation to be reversible, and product formation proceeds through the thermodynamically preferred anti-Markovnikov aminopalladation adduct to yield 3.
