Experiments designed to probe the reversibility of C–O bond formation from (L)Pd(η3-allyl) complexex. (A) Acetate exchange into cinnamyl acetate in the presence of a (L)Pd(η3-allyl) complex; (B) Mechanistic basis for (L)Pd(η3-allyl)-catalyzed acetate exchange in cinnamyl acetate and the influence of an oxidant on the extent of exchange; (C) Extent of acetate exchange with different (L)Pd(η3-allyl) complexes in the absence and presence of an oxidant; (D) O2 pressure effects on the extent of acetate exchange for the reaction in Figure 2A [(L)Pd(η3-allyl) = 4].
