Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization via C-H palladation

Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H bond activation has emerged as an increasingly important tool for the expedient synthesis of complex chiral molecules. In the past decade, palladium, one of the most commonly employed metal catalysts, has attracted significant attention in enantioselective C-H functionalization for its great promise to streamline the synthesis of chiral molecules and inspired new retrosynthetic disconnections. This review highlights recent advances in Pd-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions with an emphasis on the catalytic pathways, types of chiral ligands, and chirality.
