Atropisomeric phosphines hold considerable significance in asymmetric catalysis, yet their synthesis presents a formidable challenge owing to intricate multistep procedures. In this context, a groundbreaking methodology has been presented for their preparation. This innovative approach entails an atroposelective rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation employing aryl and heteroaryl halides, chelated by a P(III) center. The essence of this strategy lies in its ability to directly construct chiral phosphine ligands in a single step, thereby exhibiting exceptional efficiency in terms of atom and redox economy. Illustrative examples serve to demonstrate the immense potential of in situ-formed ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Mechanistic experiments have further provided invaluable insights into this transformation.

Achieving axially chiral biaryl dialdehydes through asymmetric catalysis remains significantly challenging due to the lack of efficient strategies. In this report, we developed a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective C-H amidation through chiral transient directing group strategy. With this new approach, a series of axially chiral amido dialdehydes were achieved in up to 86% yields with 99.

Efficient access to pyranoisoquinoline derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed double C-H functionalization of phenyl oxadiazoles and diazo compounds has been developed. Two C-C bonds and one C-O and C-N bond formation was realized by this tandem reaction, along with the formation of two heterocycles, affording diversified pyran-fused isoquinolines in moderate to good yields with broad functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions.

General procedures for the rhodium-catalyzed annulation of aryl/heteroaryl -pivaloyl hydroxamic acids and norbornadiene have been developed. Employing norbornadiene as an acetylene equivalent enables utilization of diverse heterocyclic substrates for this transformation which fail to react or undergo competitive Lossen rearrangement under previously reported conditions. Microwave heating significantly reduces reaction times compared to conventional protocols and allows a one-step process to be realized.

Diazo compounds are known to be good coupling partners in the synthesis of heterocycles, carbocycles and functionalized molecules a rhodium carbene-based strategy. Many heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds, including isoquinolones and isocoumarins, quinoxalines, indoles, pyrrones, benzothazines, enaminones, benzenes and seven-membered rings, can be constructed using this rhodium-catalyzed system. The reaction mechanism involves C-H activation, carbene insertion and an annulation/functionalization sequence.

Two routes to assemble the complete tricyclic core of alopecurone C are described. In the first-generation route, an efficient synthesis of the "eastern" half of the target, including a decagram-scale rhodium-catalyzed C-H insertion reaction, was developed. When this route proved intractable for assembling the final flavanone ring, a successful second-generation route was developed from a flavanone precursor (naringenin) employing a later stage C-H insertion.
