Which pathway? Aerobic Pd‐catalyzed oxidation reactions couple organic‐substrate oxidation to the reduction of O 2 . Two pathways are prevalent for the regeneration of the active Pd II catalyst (see scheme; SubH 2 = substrate; Sub Ox =oxidized substrate), and recent studies have provided a deeper fundamental understanding of the interactions of Pd with O 2 .
