Computational studies on carboxylate-assisted C–H activation and functionalization at
group 8–10 transition metal centers are reviewed. This Review is organized by metal and …

C− H functionalization reactions hold great potential for the streamlined synthesis of
complex molecules and are currently a “hot” topic in organic synthesis. Among the various …

Significant progress has been accomplished in directed C–H functionalization through the
use of earth-abundant and inexpensive first-row transition metals. Among these base …

A mild, oxidant‐free, and selective Cp* CoIII‐catalyzed amidation of thioamides with robust
dioxazolone amidating agents via C (sp3)− H bond activation to generate the desired …

Efficient, atom-economical, highly regioselective C (sp3)–H bond alkenylation of 8-
methylquinoline catalyzed by (Cp*) Co (III) is reported. A well-defined, air-stable, molecular …

An efficient and external oxidant‐free, Cp* CoIII‐catalyzed C (sp3)− H bond amidation of 8‐
methylquinoline, using oxazolone as an efficient amidating agent, is reported for the first …

Oxidative coupling reactions, where two electrons are released from the reactants and
trapped by an oxidant, have arisen as a versatile alternative to cross-coupling in chemical …

This account describes Cp* Co III-catalyzed C–H functionalization reactions developed in
our group between 2013 and 2018. Cp* Co III catalysts not only serve as inexpensive …

Density functional theory calculations were conducted to develop a mechanistic
understanding of the Rh (III)-catalyzed C–H activation/cycloaddition reactions of N …

We report a Rh-catalyzed method for the C-5 selective C–H iodination of naphthoquinones
and show that complementary C-2 selective processes can be achieved under related …
