Metal‐bound water molecules have recently been recognized as a new facet of soft Lewis acid catalysis. Herein, a chiral palladium aqua complex was constructed that enables carbon–hydrogen bonds of indoles to be functionalized efficiently. We embraced a chiral 2,2′‐bipyridine as both ligand and hydrogen‐bond donor to configure a robust, yet highly Lewis acidic, chiral aqua complex in water. Whereas the

The novel Lewis acid, lithium cobalt-bis-dicarbollide (1), in which the lithium ion is weakly coordinated to the Co(B9C2H11)(2)(1-)anion, is an effective, soluble catalyst for Mukaiyama-Michael reactions.

Cyclopropanation was performed using the Furukawa procedure with CH2I2/Et2Zn and α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction was performed in the presence of a copper salt. The reactivity was highly depe...
