Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed cyclization of the β-C(sp3)-H bond of aliphatic carboxylic acids with allylic electrophiles providing five-membered γ-lactones in good to excellent yields is demonstrated. An acetyl-protected aminoethyl phenyl thioether ligand is used to promote the C-H activation reaction. A diverse range of allylic electrophiles such as allyl alcohols, allyl acetates, allyl sulfones, allyl phosphonate, allyl amine, and allyl ester have been utilized for this reaction. A feasible reaction mechanism has been proposed to account for the present cyclization reaction.

Abstract
Axially chiral carboxylic acids are important motifs in chiral catalysts and ligands. We herein reported the synthesis of axially chiral carboxylic acids via Pd(II)-catalyzed atroposelective C-H olefination using carboxylic acid as the native directing group. A broad range of axial chiral biaryl-2-carboxylic acids were synthesized in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 84% yield with 99% ee). Gram-scale reaction and further transformation reactions also provide a platform for synthetic applications of this method.

Abstract
The importance of deuterium labelling in a variety of applications, ranging from mechanistic studies to drug-discovery, has spurred immense interest in the development of new methods for its efficient incorporation in organic, and especially in bioactive molecules. The five-membered heteroarenes at the center of this work are ubiquitous motifs in bioactive molecules and efficient methods for the deuterium labelling of these compounds are therefore highly desirable. However, the profound differences in chemical properties encountered between different heteroarenes hamper the development of a single set of broadly applicable reaction conditions, often necessitating a separate optimization campaign for a given type of heteroarene. In this study we describe the use of a multi-substrate screening approach to identify optimal reaction conditions for different classes of heteroarenes from a minimal number of screening reactions. Using this approach, four sets of complementary reaction conditions derived from our dual ligand-based palladium catalysts for nondirected C(sp2)-H activation were identified, that together enable the deuteration of structurally diverse heteroarenes, including bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Native functionality directed the C-H activation cascade to enable rapid construction of molecular complexity, featuring step-economy and synthetic efficiency. Herein, by exploiting bifunctional α-alcohol haloalkynes, we developed Ru(II)-catalyzed carboxylic acid, amine, and amide assisted divergent C-H alkynylation and annulation cascade, affording polyfunctional heterocycles. Significantly, a bilateral aryl C-H polycyclization cascade of azobenzenes was achieved using the versatile haloalkynes.

Abstract
PdII -catalyzed C(sp3 )-H activation of free carboxylic acids represents a significant advance from conventional cyclopalladation initiated reactions. However, developing a modular synthetic platform for diverse quaternary and tertiary carbon centers based on this reactivity, two challenges remain to be addressed: mono-selectivity in each consecutive C-H functionalization step; compatibility with heteroatoms. While the exclusive mono-selectivity was achieved by β-lactonization/nucleophilic attack, the latter limitation remains to be overcome. Herein, we report the PdII -catalyzed β- and γ-C(sp3 )-H heteroarylation of free carboxylic acids using pyridine-pyridone ligands capable of overcoming these limitations. A sequence of three consecutive C(sp3 )-H activation reactions of pivalic acid provides an unique platform for constructing diverse quaternary carbon centers containing heteroaryls which could serve as an enabling tool for escaping the flat land in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Ligand development has enabled rapid advances in Pd(II)-catalyzed β-methyl C(sp3)-H activation of free carboxylic acids. However, there are only a handful of reports of free-acid-directed β-methylene C(sp3)-H activation, all of which are limited to intramolecular reactions. Herein, we report the first Pd(II)-catalyzed intermolecular β-methylene C(sp3)-H arylation of free aliphatic acids, which is enabled by bidentate pyridine-pyridone ligands. The bite angle of this ligand has been discovered to play a key role in promoting β-methylene C-H activation of free carboxylic acid. This new transformation provides a disconnection for alkylation of arenes with simple aliphatic acids. A variety of free aliphatic acids, including the antiasthmatic drug seratrodast, were compatible with the reported protocol.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed sequential C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H bond diolefination reaction of o-toluidine has been realized for the first time using acetyl-protected aminoethyl phenyl thioether ligands. This novel reaction allows for preparation of the conjugated diene structure via an immediate second olefination on the basis of the first C(sp3)-H olefination in one pot. Various triflyl-protected anilines and acrylates were used as coupling partners elegantly. Furthermore, the unpurified diolefination products can be easily converted to tetrahydroquinoline derivatives.

Abstract
The development of C(sp3 )-H functionalization reactions that use common protecting groups and practical oxidants remains a significant challenge. Herein we report a monoprotected aminoethyl thioether (MPAThio) ligand-enabled β-C(sp3 )-H lactamization of tosyl-protected aliphatic amides using tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) as the sole oxidant. This protocol features exceedingly mild reaction conditions, reliable scalability, and the use of practical oxidants and protecting groups. Further derivatization of the β-lactam products enables the synthesis of a range of biologically important motifs including β-amino acids, γ-amino alcohols, and azetidines.

Abstract
Ligand-enabled Pd-catalyzed regioselective α,β-dehydrogenation of carbonyl compounds via β-methylene C-H activation has recently emerged as a promising transformation. Herein, we report the realization of β,γ-dehydrogenation and subsequent vinyl C-H olefination reactions of free carboxylic acids, thus providing a unique method for the structural diversification of aliphatic acids containing α-quaternary centers through sequential functionalizations of two β-C-H bonds and one γ-C-H bond. This tandem dehydrogenation-olefination-lactonization reaction offers a one-step preparation of β-alkylidene-γ-lactones, which are often difficult to prepare through conventional methods, from inexpensive and abundant free aliphatic acids. A variety of free aliphatic acids, such as isosteviol and grandiflorolic acid natural products, and olefins are compatible with the reported protocol. The newly designed bidentate oxime ether-pyridone and morpholine-pyridone ligands are crucial for this tandem reaction to proceed. Notably, these ligands also enable preferential methylene C-H activation over the previously reported, competing process of methyl C-H bond olefination.

Abstract
Bicyclo[3.2.1] lactones are chemical scaffolds found in numerous bioactive natural products. Herein, we detail the development of a novel palladium(II)-catalyzed tandem intramolecular β-C(sp3)-H olefination and lactonization reaction that rapidly transforms linear carboxylic acid possessing a tethered olefin into the bicyclo[3.2.1] lactone motif. This transformation features a broad substrate scope, shows excellent functional group compatibility, and can be extended to the preparation of the related seven-membered bicyclo[4.2.1] lactones. Additionally, we demonstrate the synthetic potential of this annulation by constructing the 6,6,5-tricyclic lactone core structure of the meroterpenoid cochlactone A. We anticipate that this compelling reaction may provide a novel synthetic disconnection that can be broadly applied toward the preparation of a variety of bioactive natural products.

Abstract
Catalyst-controlled site-selective activation of β- and γ-methylene C-H bonds of free carboxylic acids is a long-standing challenge. Here we show that with a pair of palladium catalysts assembled with quinoline-pyridone ligands of different chelate ring sizes, it is possible to perform highly site-selective monolactonization reactions with a wide range of dicarboxylic acids, generating structurally diverse and synthetically useful γ- and δ-lactones via site-selective β- or γ-methylene C-H activation. The remaining carboxyl group serves as a versatile linchpin for further synthetic applications as demonstrated by the total synthesis of two natural products, myrotheciumone A and pedicellosine, from abundant dicarboxylic acids.

Abstract
Enolate alkylation and conjugate addition into an α,β-unsaturated system have served as long-standing strategic disconnections for the installation of α- or β-substituents on carbonyl-containing compounds. At the onset of our efforts to develop C-H activation reactions for organic synthesis, we set our eye toward developing asymmetric β-C-H activation reactions of aliphatic acids with the perspective that this bond-forming event could serve as a more flexible retrosynthetic surrogate for both canonical carbonyl-related asymmetric transformations.In this Account, we describe our early efforts using strongly coordinating chiral oxazolines to probe reaction mechanism and the stereochemical nature of the C-H cleavage transition state. The characterization of key reactive intermediates through X-ray crystallography and computational studies suggested a transition state with C-H and Pd-OAc bonds being approximately coplanar for optimum interaction. We then moved forward to develop more practical, weakly coordinating monodentate amide directing groups, a necessary advance toward achieving the β-C-H activation of weakly coordinating native carboxylic acids. Throughout this journey, gradual deconvolution between a substrate's directing effect and its intimate interplay with ligand properties has culminated in the design of new ligand classes that ultimately allowed the competency of native carboxylic acids in β-C-H activation. These efforts established the importance of ligand acceleration in Pd-catalyzed C-H activation, where the substrate's weak coordination is responsible for positioning the catalyst for C-H cleavage, while the direct participation from the bifunctional ligand is responsible for enthalpically stabilizing the C-H cleavage transition state.Building upon these principles, we developed five classes of chiral ligands (MPAA, MPAQ, MPAO, MPAThio, MPAAM) to enable enantioselective β-C-H activation reactions, including carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. The accumulated data from our developed enantioselective C-H activation reactions indicate that ligands possessing point chirality are most effective for imparting stereoinduction in the C-H activation step, the application of which enabled the desymmetrization and subsequent C-H functionalization of enantiotopic carbon and protons across a range of weakly coordinating arylamides and, more recently, free carboxylic acids. Progress in ligand design, in conjunction with the enabling nature of alkali metal countercations, led to the realization of a suite of β-methyl and now methylene C(sp3)-H activation reactions. These advancements also enabled the use of economical oxidants, such as peroxides and molecular oxygen, to facilitate catalyst turnover. In the future, continued progress in designing more efficient bifunctional chiral ligands is likely to provide a myriad of enantioselective β-C-H activation reactions of readily available native substrates.

Abstract
The selective functionalization of C(sp3 )-H bonds using transition-metal catalysis is among the more attractive transformations of modern synthetic chemistry. In addition to its inherent atom economy, such reactions open unconventional retrosynthetic pathways that can streamline synthetic processes. However, the activation of intrinsically inert C(sp3 )-H bonds, and the selection among very similar C-H bonds, represent highly challenging goals. In recent years there has been notable progress tackling these issues, especially with regard to the development of intermolecular reactions entailing the formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. Conversely, the assembly of cyclic products from simple acyclic precursors using metal-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H bond activations has been less explored. Only recently has the number of reports on such annulations started to grow. Herein we give an overview of some of the more relevant advances in this exciting topic.

Abstract
AbstractCarbonylation, one of the most powerful approaches to the preparation of carbonylated compounds, has received significant attention from researchers active in various fields. Indeed, impressive progress has been made on this subject over the past few decades. Among the various types of carbonylation reactions, asymmetric carbonylation is a straightforward methodology for constructing chiral compounds. Although rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroformylations have been discussed in several elegant reviews, a general review on palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylations is still missing. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent achievements in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylation reactions. Notably, this review’s contents are categorized by reaction type.
