Pd II ‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Activation of C(sp 2 )H and C(sp 3 )H Bonds Using Monoprotected Amino Acids as Chiral Ligands

The relay of chiral information from the α-carbon atom of the amino acid ligand is believed to be crucial for chiral induction in the PdII-catalyzed enantioselective CH activation/CC coupling reaction of diphenyl(2-pyridyl)methane with boronic acids (see scheme; BQ=benzoquinone).
