Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization reactions has attracted considerable attention due to its ability for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched molecules and stimulation of novel retrosynthetic disconnections. Understanding the reaction mechanism, especially the stereochemical process of the reaction, is crucial for the rational design of more efficient catalytic systems. Previously, we developed a Pd(II)/sulfoxide-2-hydroxypridine (SOHP) catalytic system for asymmetric C(sp3)-H functionalization reactions. In this study, we focused on unraveling the chemistry of chiral palladacycles involved in the Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization. We have isolated key palladacycle intermediates involved in the enantioselective β-C(sp3)-H arylation of carboxylic acids catalyzed by the Pd(II)/SOHP system. These palladacycles, exhibiting ligand-induced chirality, provided a significant opportunity to investigate the stereochemical process and the ligand effect in this asymmetric C-H functionalization. Our investigation provided direct evidence for the C-H palladation step as the enantioselectivity-determining step, which forms diastereomeric palladacycles that exhibited preservation of chirality in the functionalization step. DFT calculations provided insights into the chiral induction in palladacycle formation. This work highlights the value of chiral palladacycle chemistry in offering mechanistic insights into the Pd(II)-catalyzed asymmetric C(sp3)-H functionalization reactions.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202408603.

Abstract
Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation has emerged as a versatile platform for constructing point, axial, and planar chirality. Herein, we present an unexpected discovery of a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective cascade β,γ-methylene C(sp3)-H diarylation of free carboxylic acids using bidentate chiral mono-protected amino thioether ligands (MPAThio), enabling one-step synthesis of a complex chiral 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene scaffolds with high enantioselectivity. In this process, two methylene C(sp3)-H bonds and three C(sp2)-H bonds were activated, leading to the formation of four C-C bonds and three chiral centers in one pot. A plausible catalytic pathway starts with enantioselective β,γ-dehydrogenation to form chiral β,γ-cyclohexene. Intriguingly, this olefin serves as a norbornene-type reagent (presumably assisted by the carboxyl directing effect), relaying two successive Catellani arylation reactions and a C-H arylation reaction to furnish chiral 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes along with meta-selective homocoupling products of iodoarene.

Abstract
Enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation has garnered significant attention in synthetic and computational chemistry. Chiral transient directing groups (TDGs) hold promise for enabling Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization. Despite the interest in this strategy, it presents a challenge because the stereogenic center on the chiral TDG is frequently distant from the C-H bond, leading to a mixture of functionalized products. Our computational study on Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective β-C(sp3)-H arylation of aliphatic ketone with chiral amino acids provides a sustainable route to synthesizing complex chiral molecular scaffolds. The cooperative action of 2-pyridone derivatives and chiral amino acids is crucial in promoting the enantio-discriminating C-H activation, oxidative addition, and reductive elimination steps. Using 5-nitro-2-pyridone as the optimal external ligand demonstrates its ability to achieve the highest level of enantioselection. In contrast, the modeled 3,5-di((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)-2-pyridone ligand facilitates the most straightforward C-H activation. This study underscores the pivotal role of the alkyl substituent at the α-position of the amino acid (TDG) in altering enantioselectivity.

Abstract
In 2001, our curiosity to understand the stereochemistry of C-H metalation with Pd prompted our first studies in Pd(II)-catalyzed asymmetric C-H activation (RSC Research appointment: 020 7451 2545, Grant: RG 36873, Dec. 2002). We identified four central challenges: 1. poor reactivity of simple Pd salts with native substrates; 2. few strategies to control site selectivity for remote C-H bonds; 3. the lack of chiral catalysts to achieve enantioselectivity via asymmetric C-H metalation, and 4. low practicality due to limited coupling partner scope and the use of specialized oxidants. These challenges necessitated new strategies in catalyst and reaction development. For reactivity, we developed approaches to enhance substrate-catalyst affinity together with novel bifunctional ligands which participate in and accelerate the C-H cleavage step. For site-selectivity, we introduced the concept of systematically modulating the distance and geometry between a directing template, catalyst, and substrate to selectively access remote C-H bonds. For enantioselectivity, we devised predictable stereomodels for catalyst-controlled enantioselective C-H activation based on the participation of bifunctional ligands. Finally, for practicality, we have developed varied catalytic manifolds for Pd(II) to accommodate diverse coupling partners while employing practical oxidants such as simple peroxides. These advances have culminated in numerous C-H activation reactions, setting the stage for broad industrial applications.

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
C-Glycosides are critical motifs embedded in many bioactive natural products. The inert C-glycosides are privileged structures for developing therapeutic agents owing to their high chemical and metabolic stability. Despite the comprehensive strategies and tactics established in the past few decades, highly efficient C-glycoside syntheses via C-C coupling with excellent regio-, chemo-, and stereoselectivity are still needed. Here, we report the efficient Pd-catalyzed glycosylation of C-H bonds promoted by weak coordination with native carboxylic acids without external directing groups to install various glycals to the structurally diverse aglycon parts. Mechanistic evidence points to the participation of a glycal radical donor in the C-H coupling reaction. The method has been applied to a wide range of substrates (over 60 examples), including many marketed drug molecules. Natural product- or drug-like scaffolds with compelling bioactivities have been constructed using a late-stage diversification strategy. Remarkably, a new potent sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor with antidiabetic potential has been discovered, and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles of drug molecules have been changed using our C-H glycosylation approach. The method developed here provides a powerful tool for efficiently synthesizing C-glycosides to facilitate drug discovery.

Abstract
Cyclopropanes are important substructures in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Although traditional methods for their incorporation rely on cyclopropanation of an existing scaffold, the advent of transition-metal catalysis has enabled installation of functionalized cyclopropanes using cross-coupling reactions. The unique bonding and structural properties of cyclopropane render it more easily functionalized in transition-metal-catalysed cross-couplings than other C(sp3) substrates. The cyclopropane coupling partner can participate in polar cross-coupling reactions either as a nucleophile (organometallic reagents) or as an electrophile (cyclopropyl halides). More recently, single-electron transformations featuring cyclopropyl radicals have emerged. This Review will provide an overview of transition-metal-catalysed C-C bond formation reactions at cyclopropane, covering both traditional and current strategies, and the benefits and limitations of each.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed site- and stereoselective C-H activation of strained (hetero)cycloalkanes remains a formidable challenge. We herein report a carbamate-directed iridium-catalyzed asymmetric β-C(sp3 )-H borylation of cyclopropanol derivatives. A variety of densely functionalized cyclopropanols were obtained in good enantioselectivities via desymmetrization and kinetic resolution. In addition, site-selective C(sp3 )-H borylation of methine groups furnished α-borylated (hetero)cycloalkanols in moderate to good yields. The synthetic utility of the method was further shown in a gram-scale synthesis and diverse downstream transformations of borylated products.

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
Controlling the number of C-H bond activation is a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Recently, Yu's group demonstrated that in Pd-catalyzed alanine's arylation, pyridine-type ligands favor a mono-C-H bond activation, while quinoline-type ligands favor a di-C-H bond activation. To disclose the underlying principles, a theoretical study (density functional theory (DFT)) has been carried out. Our study indicates that a mono-ligand model, which is generally adopted in the community, does not reproduce the experimentally observed mono-/di-selectivity, while a bi-ligand model can rationalize the experimental observations well, including the observed diastereoselectivity in diarylation. The electron-rich pyridine-type ligands with less steric congestion can promote the C-H bond activation reaction of alanine derivatives. The quinoline-type ligands have a better π back-donation interaction with the metal, which makes a more active C-H bond activation than the pyridine-type ligands for this reaction. This bi-ligand model, which is a necessity, allows the understanding and future design of a dual ligand effect in C-H bond activation.

Abstract
Optically active cyclopropanes have been widely investigated especially from the views of pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and substituting one of the methylenes with the difluoromethylene unit should be promising for developing novel biologically relevant compounds and functional materials. In this paper, the copper‐catalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of gem‐difluorocyclopropenes to provide the corresponding chiral gem‐difluorocyclopropanes is presented. The use of copper(I) chloride, chiral ligands including bidentate BINAPs and monodentate phosphoramidites, and silylborane Me2PhSi‐Bpin accompanying sodium tert‐butoxide in methanol was appropriate for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of the strained C=C double bond, and the resultant chiral difluorinated three‐membered ring was unambiguously characterized. Subsequent activation of the silyl groups in enantio‐enriched gem‐difluorocyclopropanes showed substantial reduction of the enantiopurity, indicating cleavage of the distal C−C bond leading to the transient acyclic intermediates.

Abstract
Herein, the Rh-catalyzed consecutive C-H bond olefination/annulation/olefination cascade, tandemly directed by sulfonamide and ester groups, has been developed under mild conditions with the assistance of 1-adamantane carboxylic acid. A seven-membered metallacycle including an ester group was preferred to the five-membered one including a sulfonamide group for the third C-H activation. In this transformation, the Rh catalyst exhibits its high reactivity by catalyzing a triple C-H activation process with a low catalyst loading at 50 °C. This method can be applied in the construction of various pharmaceutical derivatives.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed regio- and stereo-controllable C-H functionalization remains a formidable challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we disclose the first example of iridium-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H borylation of aminocyclopropanes by using simple imides as weakly coordinating directing groups under mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded via a six-membered iridacycle, affording a vast range of chiral aminocyclopropyl boronates. The current method features a broad spectrum of functional groups (36 examples) and high enantioselectivities (up to 99 %). We also demonstrated the synthetic utility by a preparative scale C-H borylation, C-B bond transformations, and conversion of the directing group.

Abstract
Strained aminomethyl-cycloalkanes are a recurrent scaffold in medicinal chemistry due to their unique structural features that give rise to a range of biological properties. Here, we report a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H arylation of aminomethyl-cyclopropanes and -cyclobutanes with aryl boronic acids. A range of native tertiary alkylamine groups are able to direct C-H cleavage and forge carbon-aryl bonds on the strained cycloalkanes framework as single diastereomers and with excellent enantiomeric ratios. Central to the success of this strategy is the use of a simple N-acetyl amino acid ligand, which not only controls the enantioselectivity but also promotes γ-C-H activation of over other pathways. Computational analysis of the cyclopalladation step provides an understanding of how enantioselective C-H cleavage occurs and revealed distinct transition structures to our previous work on enantioselective desymmetrization of N-isobutyl tertiary alkylamines. This straightforward and operationally simple method simplifies the construction of functionalized aminomethyl-strained cycloalkanes, which we believe will find widespread use in academic and industrial settings relating to the synthesis of biologically active small molecules.

Abstract
We highlight the reported developments of the palladium-catalyzed C-H activation and functionalization of the inactive/unreactive prochiral C(sp3)-H bonds of aliphatic and alicyclic compounds. There exist numerous classical methods for generating contiguous stereogenic centers in a compound with a high degree of stereocontrol. Along similar lines, the Pd(II)-catalyzed, directing group-aided functionalization of inactive prochiral/diastereotopic C(sp3)-H bonds have been exploited to accomplish the stereoselective construction of stereo-arrays in organic compounds. We present a concise discussion on how specific strategies consisting of Pd(II)-catalyzed, directing group-aided C(sp3)-H functionalization have been utilized to generate two or more stereogenic centers in aliphatic and alicyclic compounds.

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
Redox-neutral carbon-carbon (C-C) bond activation and functionalization strategies of cyclopropanols that give metallo homoenolate have offered merits to construct a range of useful β-functionalized ketones in an inverse-polarity fashion. Discovery and identification of oxidative C-C activation reactions of cyclopropanols that generate metallo enolate-homoenolate would provide an opportunity to afford α,β-difunctionalized ketones. We report catalytic, net oxidative C-C activation, and silylation of cyclopropanols with traceless acetal directing groups under consecutive Ir and Rh catalysis in regio-, stereo-, and chemo-selective fashion. In detail, Ir-catalyzed hydrosilylation of cyclopropyl acetates provides the acetal directing group in quantitative yield. Rh-catalyzed proximal C-C silylation of the resulting cyclopropyl silyl acetal produces the metallo enolate-homoenolate equivalent, dioxasilepine, which uniquely holds an interconnected β-silyl moiety and Z-vinyl acetal. Upon sequential treatment of a silaphile that removes the acetal directing group and electrophile, the seven-membered silicon-containing heterocycle, serving as the ketone α,β-dianion equivalent, delivers α,β-difunctionalized ketones. Scope of the hitherto unexplored reactivity of cyclopropanols toward net oxidative C-C silylation and the versatility of the resulting dioxasilepines were demonstrated. These include late-stage, net oxidative C-C silylation of biologically relevant molecules and facile production of a range of α,β-difunctionalized ketones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the C-C activation harnessing the electron-rich Wilkinson-type catalyst is likely the turnover-determining step and a Rh-π interaction is the key to the efficient metal insertion to the proximal C-C bond in cyclopropanols.

Abstract
Chiral carboxylic acids bearing an α-stereogenic center constitute the backbone of many natural products and therapeutic reagents as well as privileged chiral ligands and catalysts. Hence, it is not surprising that a large number of elegant catalytic asymmetric strategies have been developed toward the efficient synthesis of α-chiral carboxylic acids, such as α-hydroxy acids and α-amino acids. In this review, the recent advances in asymmetric synthesis of α-stereogenic free carboxylic acids via organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis are summarized (mainly from 2010 to 2020). The content is organized by the reaction type of the carboxyl source involved, including asymmetric functionalization of substituted carboxylic acids, cyclic anhydrides, α-keto acids, substituted α,β-unsaturated acids and so on. We hope that this review will motivate further interest in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral α-substituted carboxylic acids.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed, coordination-assisted C(sp3)-H functionalization has revolutionized synthetic planning over the past few decades as the use of these directing groups has allowed for increased access to many strategic positions in organic molecules. Nonetheless, several challenges remain preeminent, such as the requirement for high temperatures, the difficulty in removing or converting directing groups, and, although many metals provide some reactivity, the difficulty in employing metals outside of palladium. This review aims to give a comprehensive overview of coordination-assisted, transition-metal-catalyzed, direct functionalization of nonactivated C(sp3)-H bonds by covering the literature since 2004 in order to demonstrate the current state-of-the-art methods as well as the current limitations. For clarity, this review has been divided into nine sections by the transition metal catalyst with subdivisions by the type of bond formation. Synthetic applications and reaction mechanism are discussed where appropriate.

Abstract
A novel and facile approach to synthesis of 1-substituted cyclopropylamines via phosphine-catalyzed formal tertiary Csp3-H amination of cyclopropanes was described. The indoles, pyrroles, imidazoles, uracils, 2-pyridone, pyrimidin-4(3H)-one, and phthalimide had been proven as good aminating partners. The present protocol features transition-metal-free, excellent regioselectivity, high-atom-economy, and mild reaction conditions and a broad range of substrates. The practicability of this protocol can also be demonstrated with late-stage modification of bioactive molecules, scaled up reaction, and divergent derivatization. Notably, the method has been used in the formal synthesis of the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) inhibitor. The mechanistic aspects were elucidated by both experimental and computational studies.

Abstract
The asymmetric functionalization of C-H is one of the most attractive strategies in asymmetric synthesis. In the past decades, catalytic enantioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization has been intensively studied and successfully applied in various asymmetric bond formations, whereas asymmetric C(sp3)-H alkylation was not well developed. Photoredox catalysis has recently emerged as an efficient way to synthesize organic compounds under mild conditions. Despite many photoinduced stereoselective reactions that have been achieved, the related enantioselective C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling is challenging, especially of the photocatalytic asymmetric C(sp3)-H radical alkylation. Here, we report a visible light induced Cu catalyzed asymmetric sp3 C-H alkylation, which is effective for coupling with unbiased primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl fragments in high enantioselectivities. This reaction would provide a new approach for the synthesis of important molecules such as unnatural α-amino acids and late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds, and will be useful for modern peptide synthesis and drug discovery.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric functionalization of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report a Pd(ii)-catalyzed highly enantioselective arylation of unbiased methylene C(sp3)-H bonds enabled by a strongly coordinating bidentate 2-pyridinylisopropyl (PIP) directing group and an easily accessible 3,3'-F2-BINOL chiral ligand. The use of aryl iodides with the combination of 3,3'-F2-BINOL was beneficial for high enantiocontrol. A range of aliphatic amides and aryl iodides were tolerated, providing the desired arylated products in high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). The PIP directing group could be removed under mild conditions without erosion of enantiopurity.

Abstract
AbstractAryl rings are ubiquitous in the core of numerous natural product and industrially important molecules and thus their facile synthesis is of major interest in the scientific community and industry. Although multiple strategies enable access to these skeletons, metal-catalyzed C–H activation is promising due to its remarkable efficiency. Commercially available organoboron reagents, a prominent arylating partner in the cross-coupling domain, have also been utilized for direct arylation. Organoborons are bench-stable, inexpensive, and readily available coupling partners that promise regioselectivity, chemodivergence, cost-efficiency, and atom-economy without requiring harsh and forcing conditions. This critical, short review presents a summary of all major studies of arylation using organoborons in transition-metal catalysis since 2005.1 Introduction2 Arylation without Directing Group Assistance2.1 Palladium Catalysis2.2 Iron Catalysis2.3 Gold Catalysis3 Arylation with Directing Group Assistance3.1 Palladium Catalysis3.2 Ruthenium Catalysis3.3 Rhodium Catalysis3.4 Nickel Catalysis3.5 Cobalt Catalysis3.6 Copper Catalysis4 Conclusion

Abstract
A direct enantioselective acylation of α-amino C(sp3)-H bonds with carboxylic acids has been achieved via the merger of transition metal and photoredox catalysis. This straightforward protocol enables cross-coupling of a wide range of carboxylic acids, one class of feedstock chemicals, with readily available N-alkyl benzamides to produce highly valuable α-amino ketones in high enantioselectivities under mild conditions. The synthetic utility of this method is further demonstrated by gram scale synthesis and application to late-stage functionalization. This method provides an unprecedented solution to address the challenging stereocontrol in metallaphotoredox catalysis and C(sp3)-H functionalization. Mechanistic studies suggest the α-C(sp3)-H bond of the benzamide coupling partner is cleavage by photocatalytically generated bromine radicals to form α-amino alkyl radicals, which subsequently engages in nickel-catalyzed asymmetric acylation.

Abstract
In the past decade, selective C-C and C-heteroatom bond construction through palladium-catalyzed direct C-H bond functionalization has been extensively studied by employing a variety of directing groups. Within this category, direct asymmetric C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H activation for the construction of highly enantiomerically enriched skeletons still progressed at a slow pace. This minireview briefly introduces the major advances in the field for palladium-catalyzed direct asymmetric C-H bond functionalization via the directing group strategy.

Abstract
The use of chiral transient directing groups (TDGs) is a promising approach for developing PdII -catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3 )-H activation reactions. However, this strategy is challenging because the stereogenic center on the TDG is often far from the C-H bond, and both TDG covalently attached to the substrate and free TDG are capable of coordinating to PdII centers, which can result in a mixture of reactive complexes. We report a PdII -catalyzed enantioselective β-C(sp3 )-H arylation reaction of aliphatic ketones using a chiral TDG. A chiral trisubstituted cyclobutane was efficiently synthesized from a mono-substituted cyclobutane through sequential C-H arylation reactions, thus demonstrating the utility of this method for accessing structurally complex products from simple starting materials. The use of an electron-deficient pyridone ligand is crucial for the observed enantioselectivity. Interestingly, employing different silver salts can reverse the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The functionalization of unactivated carbon-hydrogen bonds is a transformative strategy for the rapid construction of molecular complexity given the ubiquitous presence of C-H bonds in organic molecules. It represents a powerful tool for accelerating the synthesis of natural products and bioactive compounds while reducing the environmental and economic costs of synthesis. At the same time, the ubiquity and strength of C-H bonds also present major challenges toward the realization of transformations that are both highly selective and efficient. The development of practical C-H functionalization reactions has thus remained a compelling yet elusive goal in organic chemistry for over a century.Specifically, the capability to form useful new C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-X bonds via direct C-H functionalization would have wide-ranging impacts in organic synthesis. Palladium is especially attractive as a catalyst for such C-H functionalizations because of the diverse reactivity of intermediate palladium-carbon bonds. Early efforts using cyclopalladation with Pd(OAc)2 and related salts led to the development of many Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization reactions. However, Pd(OAc)2 and other simple Pd salts perform only racemic transformations, which prompted a long search for effective chiral catalysts dating back to the 1970s. Pd salts also have low reactivity with synthetically useful substrates. To address these issues, effective and reliable ligands capable of accelerating and improving the selectivity of Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalizations are needed.In this Account, we highlight the discovery and development of bifunctional mono-N-protected amino acid (MPAA) ligands, which make great strides toward addressing these two challenges. MPAAs enable numerous Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H functionalization reactions of synthetically relevant substrates under operationally practical conditions with excellent stereoselectivity when applicable. Mechanistic studies indicate that MPAAs operate as unique bifunctional ligands for C-H activation in which both the carboxylate and amide are coordinated to Pd. The N-acyl group plays an active role in the C-H cleavage step, greatly accelerating C-H activation. The rigid MPAA chelation also results in a predictable transfer of chiral information from a single chiral center on the ligand to the substrate and permits the development of a rational stereomodel to predict the stereochemical outcome of enantioselective reactions.We also describe the application of MPAA-enabled C-H functionalization in total synthesis and provide an outlook for future development in this area. We anticipate that MPAAs and related next-generation ligands will continue to stimulate development in the field of Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization.
