Models for the basis of enantioselection in palladium mediated C–H activation reactions

Models are proposed to account for the basis of enantioselection in cyclopalladation reactions, which result in the formation of planar chiral palladacycles. This analysis is extended to a palladium catalysed enantioselective C–H activation reaction proceeding via the intermediacy of a chiral palladacycle.
