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>

An atom- and step-economic intermolecular multi-component palladium-catalyzed C–H amidation of alkenes with carbon monoxide and organic azides has been developed for the synthesis of alkenyl amides. The reaction proceeds efficiently without an ortho-directing group on the alkene substrates. Nontoxic dinitrogen is generated as the sole by-product. Computational studies and control experiments have revealed that the reaction takes place via an unexpected mechanism by tandem palladium catalysis.

Abstract Palladium-catalyzed non-directed C-H functionalization provides an efficient approach for direct functionalization of arenes, but it usually suffers from poor site selectivity, limiting its wide application. Herein, it is reported for the first time that the proton shuttle of 3,5-dimethyladamantane-1-carboxylic acid (1-DMAdCO2H) can affect the site selectivity during the C-H activation step in palladium-catalyzed non-directed C-H functionalization, leading to highly para-selective C-H olefination of TIPS-protected phenols. This transformation displayed good generality in realizing various other para-selective C-H functionalization reactions such as hydroxylation, halogenation, and allylation reactions. A wide variety of phenol derivatives including bioactive molecules of triclosan, thymol, and propofol, were compatible substrates, leading to the corresponding para-selective products in moderate to good yields. A preliminary mechanism study revealed that the spatial repulsion factor between proton shuttle and bulky protecting group resulted in the selective C-H activation at the less sterically hindered para-position. This new model non-directed para-selective C-H functionalization can provide a straightforward route for remote site-selective C-H activations.

Direct coupling of N–H with C–H has aroused great attention in the last decades; during which the directing-group-assisted intramolecular C–N bond formation via transition metal has been achieved significant progress. Herein, we highlight the recent development in the directing-group-assisted intramolecular amination for amine substrates to build the important N-containing heterocyclic compounds.1 Introduction2 Triflamide-Promoted Intramolecular Amination3 Picolinamide-Assisted Intramolecular Amination4 Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Amination under Assistance of Oxalyl Amide5 Conclusion
