Enantioenriched alcohols are ubiquitous in the structures and syntheses of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Catalytic, asymmetric alcohol oxidation can be a useful method to access these molecules.[1] Previously, we reported the development of an aerobic kinetic resolution of alcohols by catalytic [Pd (nbd) Cl2](1, nbd= norbornadiene) and the naturally occurring alkaloid (−)-sparteine (sp,(−)-2) in the presence of molecular oxygen.[2-6] Although this system successfully resolves a wide range of secondary alcohols to high enantiomeric excess, the rates of oxidation for certain substrates are prohibitively slow. Furthermore, the use of 2 as a ligand, which is only commercially available as the (−)-antipode, restricts access to alcohols in one enantiomeric series.[7] Herein, we disclose the development of a catalyst based on an understanding of reaction mechanism that effects dramatic rate increases, thereby
