Transition metal-catalyzed direct functionalization of C–H bonds is one of the key emerging
strategies that is currently attracting tremendous attention with the aim to provide alternative …

Synthetically useful functional groups, including ketones, amides, carbamates, carboxylic
acids, aldehydes or ethers, have been identified as weakly coordinating directing groups in …

Functionalized biaryl-containing motifs are among the most valuable synthetic scaffolds in
organic chemistry with wide ranging commercial applications in pharmaceuticals, functional …

Herein, a green and efficient metal-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) for the direct
para-C–H heteroarylation of anilines with quinoxalinones has been described. This reaction …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed C H activation is considered to be an important tool in organic
synthesis and has been accepted and widely used by chemists because it is straightforward …

A weakly coordinating tert-amide-directed straightforward method was developed for the
synthesis of azacoumestans using the corresponding azaheterocycle derivatives and …

Site selectivity is an inherent challenge in C–H functionalization reactions. The most
intensively sought‐after approaches have involved the employment of Lewis‐basic …

The ruthenium (II)-catalyzed, heteroatom-directed C–H arylation of indoles with arylsilanes
in water has been developed. The method represents the first example of a ruthenium (II) …

Well‐defined ruthenium (II) phosphinous acid (PA) complexes enabled chemo‐, site‐, and
diastereoselective C− H functionalization of arenes and alkenes with ample scope. The …

We disclose a general method for selective ortho-C–H arylation of cyclic and N, N-dialkyl
benzamides with boronic acids enabled by versatile ruthenium (II) complexes. This method …
