An unusual palladium hydride complex has been shown to be a competent catalyst in the isomerization of a variety of terminal epoxides. The reaction displayed broad scope and synthetic utility. Experimental and theoretical evidences are provided for an unprecedented hydride mechanism characterized by two distinct enantio-determining steps. These results hold promise for the development of an enantioselective variant of the reaction.
