Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes are of interest to the pharmaceutical and chemical communities, due largely to their metabolic stability and potential as bioisosteres. Here the enantioselective C–H activation of these carbocycles is reported, giving access to enantioenriched, substituted products while maintaining the carbocyclic framework.
