title: Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation/C-O bond formation: synthesis of chiral benzofuranones.
abstract: Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation of phenylacetic acids followed by an intramolecular C-O bond formation afforded chiral benzofuranones. This reaction provides the first example of enantioselecctive C-H functionalizations through Pd(II)/Pd(IV) redox catalysis.
