Journal ArticleDOI
Weak coordination as a powerful means for developing broadly useful C-H functionalization reactions.
TL;DR: The motivation for studying Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization assisted by weakly coordinating functional groups is discussed, and efforts to bring reactions of this type to fruition are chronicle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palladium-Catalyzed Transformations of Alkyl C-H Bonds.
TL;DR: A number of mono- and bidentate ligands have also proven to be effective for accelerating C(sp3)-H activation directed by weakly coordinating auxiliaries, which provides great opportunities to control reactivity and selectivity in Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of beta-, gamma-, and delta-lactams via Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H activation reactions.
Masayuki Wasa,Jin-Quan Yu +1 more
TL;DR: Pd(II)-catalyzed intramolecular amination of sp2 and sp3 C-H bonds are developed using a combination of CuCl2 and AgOAc as the oxidant, providing practical access to a wide range of beta-, gamma-, and delta-lactams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pd(II)-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of sp3 C−H Bonds with sp2 and sp3 Boronic Acids Using Air as the Oxidant
TL;DR: Air was shown to be a suitable stoichiometric oxidant for the catalytic oxidative coupling reaction, and the first example of cross-coupling sp3 C-H bonds with sp3 boronic acids is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pd(II)-catalyzed olefination of sp3 C-H bonds.
TL;DR: The first Pd(II)-catalyzed sp(3) C-H olefination reaction has been developed using N-arylamide directing groups, and the resulting intermediates were found to undergo rapid 1,4-addition to give the corresponding gamma-lactams.
