, p. 15494 - 15497 (2019)
Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H activation of alcohol typically shows β-selectivity due to the required distance between the chelating atom in the attached directing group and the targeted C-H bonds. Herein we report the design of a hemilabile directing group which exploits the chelation of a readily removable benzyl ether moiety to direct Γ- or δ-C-H carbonylation and olefination of alcohols. The utility of this approach is also demonstrated in the late-stage C-H functionalization of β-estradiol to rapidly prepare desired analogues that required multi-step syntheses with classical methods.
