The 'safety-catch' nature of the sulfoxide directing group is illustrated in a selective, iterative double cross-coupling process.
Cleavage of the pyridine directing group is also demonstrated and gives a good yield of 78%% over two steps.
However, with substitution at other positions on the pyridine directing group, the reaction proceeds in excellent yield (2 h, i).
Thus, a sulfide substituent can be carried through a synthesis before selective sulfur oxidation delivers the directing group effect precisely when and where it is required.
Within the accepted model for enantioinduction using complexes 3,[ 2b, 5] cyclorhodation can generate up to four species, which differ in which directing group participates in cyclometallation, and/or the orientation of the rhodacycle within the chiral pocket (Scheme 2).
This method proceeds with a range of alkynes and triazines, although it appears to be advantageous to have the Lewis base directing group at C3 of the diene cycloaddition partner.

The issue of the selectivity in C H bond activation is solved using directing groups.
This set of tools (ruthenium, C H bonds, directing groups) provides easy access to the tailored formation of new C C and C heteroatom bonds.
It is also in agreement with the need for a sufficiently strongly σ-donating directing group, hence why oxygen-based directing groups[ 42] proved ineffective.
This preliminary data suggest that substrates bearing a directing group at the 3-position are optimal, but that the inclusion of directing groups at C6 are viable.
