A novel Pd(II)-catalyzed ortho-C−H olefination protocol has been developed using spatially remote, unprotected tertiary, secondary, and primary alcohols as the directing groups. Mono-N-protected amino acid ligands were found to promote reaction, an array of olefin coupling partners could be used. When electron-deficient alkenes used, resulting olefinated intermediates underwent subsequent oxidative intramolecular cyclization give corresponding pyran products, which converted into...

A range of Rh(III)-catalyzed ortho-C-H functionalizations have been developed; however, extension this reactivity to remote C-H through large-ring rhodacyclic intermediates has yet be demonstrated. Herein we report the first example use a U-shaped nitrile template direct meta-C-H activation via postulated 12-membered macrocyclic intermediate. Because ligands used for Rh(III) catalysts are significantly different from those Pd(II) catalysts, offers new opportunities future development...
