Transition metal-catalyzed selective C–H bond functionalization enabled by transient ligands has become an extremely attractive topic due to its economical and greener characteristics. However, catalytic pathways of this reaction process on unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> carbons of reactants have not been well studied yet. Herein, detailed mechanistic investigation on Pd-catalyzed C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond activation with amino acids as transient ligands has been systematically conducted. The theoretical calculations showed that higher angle distortion of C(sp2)-H bond over C(sp3)-H bond and stronger nucleophilicity of benzylic anion over its aromatic counterpart, leading to higher reactivity of corresponding C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds; the angle strain of the directing rings of key intermediates determines the site-selectivity of aliphatic ketone substrates; replacement of glycine with β-alanine as the transient ligand can decrease the angle tension of the directing rings. Synthetic experiments have confirmed that β-alanine is indeed a more efficient transient ligand for arylation of β-secondary carbons of linear aliphatic ketones than its glycine counterpart.<br><br>

<p>Highly chemo- and regio-selective C–H bond functionalization of unactivated arenes with propargyl <i>α</i>-aryl-<i>α</i>-diazoacetates is developed using scandium catalysis. Variety of unactivated, mildly deactivated and electronically activated arenes are functionalized using this protocol. We have explored the novel combination of scandium triflate and propargyl <i>α</i>-aryl-<i>α</i>-diazoacetate as catalyst-reagent system for the effective C–H bond functionalization. The protocol avoids the use of expensive catalysts and practicality of the protocol has been demonstrated by the gram scale synthesis of very useful <i>α</i>-diarylacetates including antispasmodic drug-adephenine.</p>

Trialkylamines are widely found in naturally-occurring alkaloids, synthetic agrochemicals, biological probes, and especially pharmaceuticals agents and pre-clinical candidates. Despite the recent breakthrough of catalytic alkylation of dialkylamines, the selective a-C(sp3 )–H bond functionalization of widely available trialkylamine scaffolds holds promise to streamline complex trialkylamine synthesis, accelerate drug discovery and execute late-stage pharmaceutical modification with complementary reactivity. However, the canonical methods always result in functionalization at the less-crowded site. Herein, we describe a solution to switch the reaction site through fundamentally overcoming the steric control that dominates such processes. By rapidly establishing an equilibrium between a-amino C(sp3 )-H bonds and a highly electrophilic thiol radical via reversible hydrogen atom transfer, we leverage a slower radical-trapping step with electron-deficient olefins to selectively forge a C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ) bond with the more-crowded a-amino radical, with the overall selectivity guided by Curtin-Hammett principle. This subtle reaction profile has unlocked a new strategic concept in direct C-H functionalization arena for forging C– C bonds from a diverse set of trialkylamines with high levels of site-selectivity and preparative utility. Simple correlation of site-selectivity and 13C NMR shift serves as a qualitative predictive guide. The broad consequences of this dynamic system, together with the ability to forge N-substituted quaternary carbon centers and implement late-stage functionalization techniques, holds tremendous potential to streamline complex trialkylamine synthesis and accelerate drug discovery

AbstractRieske oxygenases exploit the reactivity of iron to perform chemically challenging C–H bond functionalization reactions. Thus far, only a handful of Rieske oxygenases have been structurally characterized and remarkably little information exists regarding how these enzymes use a common architecture and set of metallocenters to facilitate a diverse range of reactions. Herein, we detail how two Rieske oxygenases SxtT and GxtA use different protein regions to influence the site-selectivity of their catalyzed monohydroxylation reactions. We present high resolution crystal structures of SxtT and GxtA with the native β-saxitoxinol and saxitoxin substrates bound in addition to a Xenon-pressurized structure of GxtA that reveals the location of a substrate access tunnel to the active site. Ultimately, this structural information allowed for the identification of six residues distributed between three regions of SxtT that together control the selectivity of the C–H hydroxylation event. Substitution of these residues produces a SxtT variant that is fully adapted to exhibit the non-native site-selectivity and substrate scope of GxtA. Importantly, we also found that these selectivity regions are conserved in other structurally characterized Rieske oxygenases, providing a framework for predictively repurposing and manipulating Rieske oxygenases as biocatalysts.
