The direct functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds represents one of the most investigated approaches to develop new synthetic methodology. Among the available strategies for intermolecular C-H bond functionalization, increasing attention has been devoted to hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) based procedures promoted by radical or radical-like reagents, that offer the opportunity to introduce a large variety of atoms and groups in place of hydrogen under mild conditions. Because of the large number of aliphatic C-H bonds displayed by organic molecules, in these processes control over site-selectivity represents a crucial issue, and the associated factors have been discussed. In this review article, attention will be devoted to the role of electronic effects on C(sp)-H bond functionalization site-selectivity. Through an analysis of the recent literature, a detailed description of the HAT reagents employed in these processes, the associated mechanistic features and the selectivity patterns observed in the functionalization of substrates of increasing structural complexity will be provided.

Transition-metal-catalyzed selective and efficient activation of an inert C-H bond in an organic substrate is of importance for the development of streamlined synthetic methodologies. An attractive approach is the design of a metal catalyst capable of recognizing an organic substrate through noncovalent interactions to control reactivity and selectivity. We report here a spirobipyridine ligand that bears a hydroxy group that recognizes pyridine and quinoline substrates through hydrogen bonding, and in combination with an iridium catalyst enables site-selective C-H borylation.

The poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with completely alternating sequence has attracted growing attention as an ideal candidate in controlled drug delivery. However, the approach to completely alternating PLGA remains a challenge. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of completely alternating PLGA via highly regioselective and stereoselective ring-opening polymerization.

A site-selective functionalization of a C(sp)-H bond was achieved in the presence of an intrinsically more reactive C(sp)-H bond by controlling the orientation of a directing group via a photo-induced E/Z isomerization of an oxime ether. By combining E/Z isomerization and an electron deficient Cp*Ir(III) catalyst, the scope of oxime ethers in C(sp)-H functionalization was successfully expanded. Based on this strategy, the order of C-H activation was switchable and successive C(sp)-H/C(sp)-H and C(sp)-H/C(sp)-H double functionalizations were accomplished to construct densely functionalized structures.

The "Magic Methyl" effect has received tremendous interest in medicinal chemistry due to the significant pharmacological and physical modification of properties that have been observed upon introducing a methyl group, especially, a stereogenic methyl group into potential chiral drug candidates. The prevalence of stereogenic β-methyl ketone structural motifs in bioactive compounds and natural products has long motivated the development of enantioselective strategies toward their synthesis. Herein, we have rationally designed a Rh-catalyzed asymmetric monohydrogenation of readily-available β'-methylene conjugated enones with high efficiency and remarkable site-selectivity and enantioselectivity control for the practical construction of enantioenriched β'-methyl unsaturated enones that are difficult to access by other methods.

Halogenases are spurring a growing interest in the fields of biosynthesis and biocatalysis. Although various halogenases have been identified in numerous natural product biosynthetic pathways, the mechanisms for multiple halogenations and site-selectivity remain largely unclear. In this study, we biochemically characterized FasV, a flavin-dependent halogenase (FDH) that catalyzes five successive chlorinations in the biosynthesis of the naphthacene-containing aromatic polyketide naphthacemycin.
