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>

<div> <div> <div> <p>There are relatively few methods that accom- plish the selective alkoxylation of sp3-hybridized C–H bonds, particularly in comparison to the numerous analogous strate- gies for C–N and C–C bond formation. We report a photo- catalytic protocol for the functionalization of benzylic C–H bonds with a wide range of readily available oxygen nucleo- philes. Our strategy merges the photoredox activation of arenes with copper(II)-mediated oxidation of the resulting benzylic radicals, which enables the introduction of benzylic C–O bonds with high site selectivity, chemoselectivity, and functional group tolerance. This method enables the late- stage introduction of complex alkoxy groups into bioactive molecules, providing a practical new tool with potential appli- cations in synthesis and medicinal chemistry. </p> </div> </div> </div>

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.

Pd(ii)-catalyzed direct arylation of chromones and enaminones gives divergent site-selectivities. Computational and experimental studies reveal a switch in mechanism, from a C3-selective CMD mechanism to a C2-selective carbopalladation pathway. This model accounts for the opposite selectivities of enaminone and chromone, and also correctly predicts selectivities for the C–H functionalization of heteroaromatic substrates as a function of the coupling partner.
