Under optimal conditions, we first studied a range of (E)-1-arylbutenes 1 in the reaction with p-methoxybenzoic acid (2a) (Fig. ). The substituent at the para position of the benzene ring of the alkene substrates has little impact on the enantioselectivity of the reaction (3b-3k, 91:9-98:2 er), but the strong electron-withdrawing group p-CF3 (3e) leads to a decrease in yield (40%). Notably, in the presence of both benzylic and allylic C-H bonds, the oxidation occurred exclusively at the allylic C-H bond (3h). Substrates with meta-(3l-3n, 3q) and ortho-substituents (3o and 3p) on the benzene ring afforded higher enantioselectivities (94:6-99:1 er) due to steric effect. However, the 3-bromo-(3n, 45%) and 3,5-dichloro-substitution (3q, 38%) resulted in lower yields. The alkene substrate with a 2-naphthyl ring also worked well, yielding the desired product 3r with 51% yield and 93:7 er. Furthermore, the reaction has good compatibility with the substrate alkyl chain and its functional groups, and the corresponding chiral allyl esters (3s-3w) were obtained with a yield of 51-70% and enantioselectivity of 92:8-98:2 er. The configuration of the product 3k was determined to be S by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
