Herein, we report an asymmetric intermolecular Heck-type reaction of acyclic alkenes by using a palladium-pyridinyl oxazoline diacetate complex under oxidativepalladium(II) catalysis conditions. A premade palladium-ligand complex afforded higher enantioselectivities than a corresponding premixed palladium-ligand system, while offering enhanced asymmetric induction when compared to known intermolecular
