Significant progress has been made in the past decade regarding the development of enantioselective C−H activation reactions by desymmetrization. However, the requirement for the presence of two chemically identical prochiral C−H bonds represents an inherent limitation in scope. Reported is the first example of kinetic resolution by a palladium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C−H activation and C−C bond formation, thus significantly expanding the scope of enantioselective C−H activation reactions.
