The systematic investigation of substrate-bound α-amino acid auxiliaries has resulted in catalytic asymmetric C-H functionalization of cyclopropanes enabled by amino acid amides as chiral bidentate directing groups. The use of an Ile-NH<sub>2</sub> auxiliary embedded in the substrate provided excellent levels of asymmetric induction (diastereomeric ratio of up to 72 : 1) in the Pd(ii)-catalyzed β-methylene C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H bond activation of cyclopropanes and cross-coupling with aryl iodides. ...[more]
