Palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization has attracted considerable attention as a pathway to late-stage modification of peptides. Herein, we report the Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation of peptides directed by an amidoxime ether, which can be easily incorporated into peptides at any amide bond. Site- and stereoselective arylation of peptides has been achieved, including an unprecedented example of C-H arylation of an internal residue.

A regio- and stereoselective stepwise (4+2) annulation of N-propargylamides and α,β-unsaturated imines/ketones has been accomplished with synergetic catalysis by a combination of a gold-complex and a chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA), leading to highly functionalized chiral tetrahydropyridines/dihydropyrans in good to high yields with generally excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the in situ formed alkylgold species is the key intermediate in this transformation, and the amide group served as a traceless directing group in this highly selective transformation. This method complements the enantioselective (4+2) annulation of allene reagents, providing the formal internal C-C π-bond cycloaddition products, which is challenging and remains elusive.

The direct catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines for the synthesis of piperidines remains a challenge. Herein, we report a one-pot asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines with subsequent N-alkylation using a traceless Brønsted acid activation strategy. Catalyzed by an iridium-BINAP complex, the substrates undergo ketone reduction, cyclization and pyridine hydrogenation in sequence to form indolizidines and quinolizidines.

Alkene metathesis catalyzed by enantiopure metal alkylidene complexes enables exceptionally versatile strategies to products with configurationally-defined stereocenters. Desymmetrization processes thereby provide reliable stereoselective routes to aliphatic structures, while the differentiation of aromatic stereogenic units remained an outstanding challenge. Herein, we describe the feasibility of alkene metathesis to catalytically control stereogenic axes by traceless arene formation.

We herein report an unprecedented pathway to access γ-lactams using acetonitrile analogues as coupling partners without oxidants, ligands, and Lewis acids. The reaction undergoes Rh-catalyzed C(sp)-H addition to carbon-bound nitriles with the aid of an amide traceless auxiliary followed by an annulation sequence, featuring a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and excellent chemo/stereoselectivity. Scale-up reactions and late-stage derivatizations highlight the potential synthetic utility of this methodology.
