The cyclization of δ-acetoxy-O-allyl- and ε-acetoxy-O-homoallyl- trichloroacetimidates to 4-vinyloxazolines and a 4-vinyldihydrooxazine has been efficiently achieved by olefin aminopalladation– β-heteroatom elimination. (Z)-Allylic imidates bearing a secondary δ-acetoxy group underwent PdII-catalysed cyclization to give the E isomers of 4-vinyloxazolines selectively and gave no Overman rearrangement products. Introduction The transition-metal-catalysed formation, particularly with palladium, of the Csp3–N bond by amination of olefins has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis. Distinguished methods are inter- and intramolecular PdII-catalysed oxidative amination using co-oxidants to regenerate the catalyst[1] as well as oxyamination[2] and deamination,[3] which are believed to proceed by a co-oxidant promoted Pd(II/IV) catalytic cycle. Other notable intramolecular reactions of this type are PdII-catalysed olefin hydroamination[4] terminated by the protolysis of the C–Pd bond and olefin haloamination[5] involving oxidative palladium–halide exchange in an alkylpalladium intermediate. An alternative way to regenerate the metal in the oxidation state required to maintain the catalytic cycle is β-heteroatom elimination from the alkylpalladium intermediate. A well-known example of this approach is the catalytic Overman rearrangement in which aminopalladation of the double bond is followed by elimination of the protonated β-imidate.[6] A few other related cyclization reactions of unsaturated carbamates by aminopalladation–deoxypalladation have also been reported.[ 7] Recently we have demonstrated that metal-catalysed Overman rearrangement of (E)-allylic imidates (E)-1 (R = Me, R1 = Me, TBS) bearing an oxy substituent at the δ position gives 4-vinyloxazolines 3 (R = Me) as byproducts [a] Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, Aizkraukles 21, Riga 1006, Latvia Fax: +371-754-14-08 E-mail: aigars@osi.lv [b] Faculty of Materials Science and Applied Chemistry Department, Azenes 14, Riga 1048, Latvia Supporting information for this article is available on the WWW under http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ejoc.200900917.

KGaA, Weinheim 6407 Using a chiral substrate, it has been demonstrated that cyclization to 4-vinyloxazolines occurs with high chirality transfer. Stereoselective E isomer formation and chirality transfer provided a basis from which to discuss the possible reaction mechanism.
