6. Chemoselective reactions are also possible. For example, radical reactions are often faster than amide bond rotations, so products depend on rotamer populations of the radical precursor.

33. For example, Overman and co-workers have reported catalytic asymmetric Heck reactions of related o-iodoanilides lacking the second ortho substituent. One possible origin (among several others) for the stereoselection in these reactions is that stereoselective insertion of the chiral catalyst into one of the (equilibrating) enantiomeric iodides (dynamic kinetic resolution) is followed by an insertion into the nearby C=C bond that is faster than N-Ar bond rotation.
