The Padwa Lecture
"Accelerated C–H Activation Reactions: Enantioselectivity and Positional Selectivity"
Presented by Jin-Quan Yu
The Scripps Research Institute
Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective and position-selective C–H activation reactions are developed using mono-N-protected chiral amino acid ligands. C–H activation intermediates are characterized, offering insights into the origin of the observed stereoselectivity. Moreover, these chiral ligands are found to accelerate drastically C–H activation reactions, shortening the reaction time from two days to 20 minutes.
