Abstract

Synthetically relevant advances in the area of carbon-carbon sigma bond activation have been made possible by 8-acylquinoline directing groups. Stable rhodium metallacycle intermediates have been shown to undergo a variety of transformations, including carboacylation reactions, to produce value-added products containing all-carbon quaternary centers. The kinetic profile of such reactions has been shown to be substrate dependent.
