title: Sigma-chelation-directed C-H functionalizations using Pd(II) and Cu(II) catalysts: regioselectivity, stereoselectivity and catalytic turnover.
abstract: Recent progress in sigma-chelation directed C-H functionalization from the authors' group is described to illustrate the challenges and opportunities in the development of synthetically-useful catalytic reactions involving C-H activation as the key step. Emphasis is placed on strategies for developing catalysis under mild conditions and controlling regio- and stereoselectivity.
