In pharmaceutical synthesis difficult-to-access structural motifs are typically not used, even if found in biological natural products.  Case studies on difficult transformations will be described including the formation of hindered, chiral N-aryl bonds and palladium activation of alkyl C-H bonds that do not involve heteroatom-directed activation.
