Conspectus Activation of inert chemical bonds, such as C–H, C–O, C–C, and so on, is a very
important area, to which has been drawn much attention by chemists for a long time and …

Olefinic C–H functionalization represents an atom-and step economic approach to valuable
olefin derivatives from simpler ones, but controlling the selectivity remains a challenge …

In this tutorial review, we will summarize our recent efforts in transition metal-catalyzed
