A protocol for the Pd(II)-catalyzed ortho-C-H alkylation of phenylacetic and benzoic acids using alkylboron reagents is disclosed. Monoprotected amino acid ligands (MPAA) were found to significantly promote reactivity. Both potassium alkyltrifluoroborates and alkylboronic acids were compatible coupling partners. The possibility of a radical alkyl transfer to Pd(II) was also investigated.

The isoquinoline core is present in one of the largest subsets of bioactive natural products. The multifunctional isoquinoline core exerts diverse bioactivity, resulting in the development of numerous isoquinoline-based drugs and molecules that are currently under clinical trials. We developed a new approach for phosphite-mediated [1,2] alkyl migration for an overall -C-H alkylation -alkylation of isoquinoline.

A palladium-catalyzed divergent reaction of primary benzamides using norbornene (NBE) derivatives as a controlled switch is reported. When NBE is used as a mediator, indanones are synthesized with moderate to good yields a Catellani reaction that involves sequential -C-H alkylation and -C-N bond cleavage annulation of primary benzamides. Employing norbornadiene (NBD) instead of NBE enables the assembly of -alkylamines by an intermolecular hydroamination reaction.

The directing group (DG)-assisted approach has so far been the major route to achieve selective C-H activation at both proximal and distal positions. While rhodium catalysts are highly effective in DG-assisted ortho-C-H arylation, meta-C-H arylation with rhodium has not yet been reported. In this study, we present the first example of Rh-catalyzed meta-C-H arylation of arenes.
