Abstract
The direct functionalization of methylene C(sp3)-H bonds is one of the greatest challenges in transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation. Although Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization reactions of methylene C(sp3)-H bonds have been reported, intermolecular functionalization remains to be discovered. Herein, we report the first example of a Pd(0)-catalyzed intermolecular methylene C(sp3)-H functionalization reaction. By use of a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, the methylene C(sp3)-H bonds of 1-(benzyloxy)-2-iodobenzenes are activated and disilylated with hexamethyldisilane, affording disilylated products.

Abstract
We report a model study towards the enantioselective synthesis of the dibenzopyrrocoline alkaloid (-)-cryptowolinol. The key step involves a challenging enantioselective Pd0-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation performed with a chiral NHC ligand, which proceeds via parallel kinetic resolution (PKR). A very efficient PKR process was achieved on a deoxygenated model substrate and was successfully transposed to a potential intermediate en route to (-)-cryptowolinol.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, there have been major developments in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization reactions, enabling the convenient access to a wide spectrum of structurally diverse chiral carbo- and hetero-cycles, common skeletons found in fine chemicals, natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. In particular, a plethora of enantioselective cyclization reactions have been promoted by chiral palladium catalysts owing to their outstanding features. This review aims to collect the latest advancements in enantioselective palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions over the past eleven years, and it is organized into thirteen sections depending on the different types of transformations involved.

Abstract
The divergent synthesis of two indane polyketides of the indidene family, namely (±)-indidene A (11 steps, 1.7 %) and (+)-indidene C (13 steps, 1.3 %), is reported. The synthesis of the trans-configured common indane intermediate was enabled by palladium(0)-catalyzed methylene C(sp3 )-H arylation, which was performed in both racemic and enantioselective (e.r. 99 : 1) modes. Further elaboration of this common intermediate by nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling allowed the rapid installation of the aroyl moiety of (±)-indidene A. In parallel, the biphenyl system of (±)- and (+)-indidene C was constructed by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. These investigations led us to revise the structures of indidenes B and C.

Abstract
We report mechanistic studies on the reactivity of different α-substituted C(sp3)-H bonds, -CHnR (R = H, Me, CO2Me, CONMe2, OMe, and Ph, as well as the cyclopropyl and isopropyl derivatives -CH(CH2)2 and -CHMe2) in the context of Pd0-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation. Primary kinetic isotope effects, kH/kD, were determined experimentally for R = H (3.2) and Me (3.5), and these, along with the determination of reaction orders and computational studies, indicate rate-limiting C-H activation for all substituents except when R = CO2Me. This last result was confirmed experimentally (kH/kD ∼ 1). A reactivity scale for C(sp3)-H activation was then determined: CH2CO2Me > CH(CH2)2 ≥ CH2CONMe2 > CH3 ≫ CH2Ph > CH2Me > CH2OMe ≫ CHMe2. C-H activation involves AMLA/CMD transition states featuring intramolecular O → H-C H-bonding assisted by C-H → Pd agostic bonding. The "AMLA coefficient", χ, is introduced to quantify the energies associated with these interactions via natural bond orbital 2nd order perturbation theory analysis. Higher barriers correlate with lower χ values, which in turn signal a greater agostic interaction in the transition state. We believe that this reactivity scale and the underlying factors that determine this will be of use for future studies in transition-metal-catalyzed C(sp3)-H activation proceeding via the AMLA/CMD mechanism.

Abstract
We herein report a general and efficient enantioselective C-H arylation of aryl bromides based on the use of BozPhos as the bisphosphine ligand and SP-NHC-PdII as recoverable heterogeneous catalyst. By exploiting the "release and catch" mechanism of action of the catalytic system, we used BozPhos as a broadly applicable chiral ligand, furnishing high enantioselectivities across all types of examined substrates containing methyl, cyclopropyl and aryl C-H bonds. For each reaction, the reaction scope was investigated, giving rise to 30 enantioenriched products, obtained with high yields and enantioselectivities, and minimal palladium leaching. The developed catalytic system provides a more sustainable solution compared to homogeneous systems for the synthesis of high added-value chiral products through recycling of the precious metal.

Abstract
Green and sustainable access to chiral and achiral gold-IBiox complexes is reported. The gold complexes were synthesized using a simple, air-tolerant, weak base protocol carried out in a green solvent. Their catalytic activity was examined in the hydroamination of alkynes. The steric protection afforded the gold center by these ligands was quantified using the %Vbur model and compared with the most commonly encountered NHCs.

Abstract
The last decades have witnessed a rapid growth of applications of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in different chemistry fields. Due to their unique steric and electronic properties, NHCs have become a powerful tool in coordination chemistry, allowing the preparation of stable metal-ligand frameworks with both main group metals and transition metals. An overview on the use of five membered monodentate C2-symmetric N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as ligands for transition-metal complexes and their most relevant applications in asymmetric catalysis is offered.

Abstract
In the past years, Pd0‐catalyzed C(sp3)−H activation provided efficient and step‐economical methods to synthesize carbo‐ and heterocycles via direct C(sp2)−C(sp3) bond formation. We report herein that a 1,4‐Pd shift allows access to N‐heterocycles which are difficult to build via a direct reaction. It is shown that o‐bromo‐N‐methylanilines undergo a 1,4‐Pd shift at the N‐methyl group, followed by intramolecular trapping by C(sp2)−H or C(sp3)−H activation at another nitrogen substituent and remote C−C bond formation to generate biologically relevant isoindolines and β‐lactams. The product selectivity is influenced by the employed ligand, with NHCs favoring the product of remote C−C coupling against products arising from direct C−C coupling and N‐demethylation.

Abstract
Chiral ligands are of particular importance in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis. Although the development of effective chiral monodentate N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been slow, a growing amount of papers have been published in recent years showing their unique efficiency as chiral ancillary ligands. Herein we provide an overview of NHC structures that accomplish high levels of enantioselectivity (≥90% ee) and give guidelines to their use and thoughts on the future of this field.

Abstract
AbstractTransition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric C–H functionalization has become a powerful strategy to synthesize complex chiral molecules. Recently, catalytic enantioselective C–H arylation has attracted great interest from organic chemists to construct aryl-substituted chiral compounds. In this short review, we highlight recent advances in asymmetric C–H arylation from 2019 to late 2021, including enantioselective C(sp2)–H arylation to construct axial or planar chiral compounds, and enantioselective C(sp3)–H arylation to introduce central chirality via desymmetrization of the methyl group or methylene C–H activation. These processes proceed with palladium, rhodium, iridium, nickel, or copper catalysts, and utilize aryl halides, boron, or diazo derivatives as arylation reagents.1 Introduction2 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation2.1 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation for the Construction of Atropisomer2.2 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation for the Construction of Planar Chiral Compounds2.3 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation and Axial-to-Central Chirality Transfer for the Construction of Spirocycles2.4 Other Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation Reactions3 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp3)–H Arylation3.1 Chelation-Assisted Enantioselective C(sp3)–H Arylation through Desymmetrization3.2 Chelation-Assisted Enantioselective Methylene C(sp3)–H Arylation3.3 Other Asymmetric C(sp3)–H Arylations4 Conclusion and Outlook

Abstract
A methyl group can have a profound impact on the pharmacological properties of organic molecules. Hence, developing methylation methods and methylating reagents is essential in medicinal chemistry. We report a palladium-catalyzed dimethylation reaction of ortho-substituted iodoarenes using dimethyl carbonate as a methyl source. In the presence of K2CO3 as a base, iodoarenes are dimethylated at the ipso- and meta-positions of the iodo group, which represents a novel strategy for meta-C-H methylation. With KOAc as the base, subsequent oxidative C(sp3)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling occurs; in this case, the overall transformation achieves triple C-H activation to form three new C-C bonds. These reactions allow expedient access to 2,6-dimethylated phenols, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, and indanes, which are ubiquitous structural motifs and essential synthetic intermediates of biologically and pharmacologically active compounds.
