Significance
Desymmetrization of isopropyl moieties has remained an unanswered challenge. The authors have developed new ligands for the formation of a chiral center at the α-position of isobutyric acid derivatives through β-C(sp3)–H functionalization.

Comment
This palladium-catalyzed protocol promotes an asymmetric β-C(sp3)–H arylation, alkenylation, or alkynylation to form a chiral center at the α-position of a range of isobutyric acid derivatives with moderate yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
