AbstractTransition-metal-catalyzed direct inert C–H bond functionalization has attracted much attention over the past decades. However, because of the high strain energy of the suspected palladacycle generated via C–H bond palladation, direct functionalization of a C–H bond less than a three-bond distance from a catalyst center is highly challenging. In this short review, we summarize the advances on palladium-catalyzed bridging C–H activation, in which an inert proximal C–H bond palladation is promoted by the elementary step of migratory insertion of an alkene, an alkyne or a metal carbene intermediate.1 Introduction2 Palladium-Catalyzed Alkene Bridging C–H Activation2.1 Intramolecular Reactions2.2 Intermolecular Reactions3 Palladium-Catalyzed Alkyne Bridging C–H Activation3.1 Intermolecular Reactions3.2 Intramolecular Reactions4 Palladium-Catalyzed Carbene Bridging C–H Activation5 Conclusion and Outlook

Functionally substituted indole derivatives are important intermediates for the synthesis of new potential drug candidates exhibiting strong bioactivities. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the direct C–H functionalization of the indole ring through the usage of metal-catalyzed intermolecular cross-coupling with diazo compounds. Directing group strategy provides a unique possibility for selective insertion of carbenes catalytically generated from diazo compounds into challenging indole C2–H and C7–H bonds. This short review summarizes recent advances in carbenoid functionalization of indole derivatives under chelation-controlled metal catalysis.1 Introduction2 Indole C2 Alkylation with α-Diazotized Meldrum’s Acid3 Indole C2 Alkylation with Diazomalonate Derivatives and Related Compounds4 Indole C7 Alkylation with Diazomalonates and Related Compounds5 Tandem Indole C2–H Alkylation/Cyclization6 Indoline C7 Alkylation with Diazomalonates and Related Compounds7 Tandem Indoline C7–H Alkylation/Cyclization8 Conclusion

<p>α-substituted ketones are important chemical targets as synthetic intermediates as well as functionalities in in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We report the sp<sup>3</sup> C-H α-acetylation of sp<sup>3</sup> C-H substrates R-H with arylmethyl ketones ArC(O)Me to provide α-alkylated ketones ArC(O)CH<sub>2</sub>R at RT with <sup>t</sup>BuOO<sup>t</sup>Bu as oxidant via copper(I) β-diketiminato catalysts. Proceeding via alkyl radicals R•, this method enables α-substitution with bulky substituents without competing elimination that occurs in more traditional alkylation reactions between enolates and alkyl electrophiles. DFT studies suggest the intermediacy of copper(II) enolates [Cu<sup>II</sup>](CH<sub>2</sub>C(O)Ar) that capture alkyl radicals R• to give R-CH<sub>2</sub>C(O)Ar under competing dimerization of the copper(II) enolate to give the 1,4-diketone ArC(O)CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>C(O)Ar.</p>
