Abstract

Pd-catalyzed activation and direct arylation of both 2° and the bridgehead 3° (sp3) C–H bonds and an unprecedented C–C bond formation at the bridgehead carbon of the norbornane system are reported. The assembly of bridgehead-substituted norbornane frameworks having contiguous stereocenters was accomplished. X-ray crystal structure analysis of representative molecules unambiguously established the stereochemistry.
