Enantioselective C–H Arylation for Axially Chiral Heterobiaryls

An enantioselective palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation of functionalized pyrazoles/triazoles/imidazoles is developed, affording a variety of axially chiral ortho-nitro/formyl-substituted heterobiaryls with excellent enantioselectivities and good yields. The method features a deuterated P-chiral phosphorus ligand CD₃-AntPhos, a broad substrate scope of functionalized heterobiaryls, mild reaction conditions, and low palladium loadings.
