Transition metal-catalyzed hydrocarbonations of unsaturated substrates have emerged as
powerful synthetic tools for increasing molecular complexity in an atom-economical manner …

Ruthenium complexes are well known as remarkable pre-catalysts for challenging C–H
bond functionalizations. Combining them with other types of chemical reactions in a tandem …

Alkylation represents an important organic transformation in molecular science to develop
privileged alkylated arenes and heteroarenes. Especially, the direct C–H bond alkylation …

A ruthenium (II)‐catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular hydroarylation assisted by a chiral
transient directing group has been developed. A series of 2, 3‐dihydrobenzofurans bearing …

Since the beginning of the 21st century, significant progress has been made in transition
metal‐catalyzed C–H functionalization of aromatic amides. The achievements in this field …

Direct functionalization of a C–H bond at either the meta or para position by only changing
the catalyst system poses a significant challenge. We herein report the [Fe (TPP) Cl] …

The p‐Cymene ruthenium (II) complex is one of the most widely used catalysts in C− H
activation. However, enantioselective C− H activation promoted by arene ruthenium (II) …

Abstract Development of chiral ligands is the most fundamental task in metal‐catalyzed
asymmetric synthesis. In the last 60 years, various kinds of ligands have been …

We have developed a visible light-induced photo-redox copper-catalyzed oxidative Csp2–H
annulation (Friedel–Crafts-type cyclization) of amidines with terminal alkynes at room …

A versatile and readily available chiral amide directing group has been developed for the
ruthenium (II)‐catalyzed asymmetric C− H activation. Asymmetric C− H activation of the …
