In industries and academic laboratories, several late transition metal-catalyzed prerequisite
reactions are widely performed during single and multistep synthesis. However, besides the …

C–H activation has surfaced as an increasingly powerful tool for molecular sciences, with
notable applications to material sciences, crop protection, drug discovery, and …

This review is focused on the analysis of current data on new methods of alkenylation of
arenes and heteroarenes with alkynes by transition metal catalyzed reactions …

Ru-Catalyzed aromatic C–H bond activation and functionalization have emerged as
important topics because they have resulted in remarkable progress in organic synthesis …

The transition-metal-catalyzed chelation-assisted alkenylation at the inert C–H bond of
aromatics with alkenes is one of the efficient methods to synthesize substituted vinylarenes …

A highly diastereoselective method for the synthesis of dihydroepoxybenzofluorenone
derivatives from aromatic/vinylic amides and bicyclic alkenes is described. This new …

Stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes is a long-standing challenge in organic
chemistry, due to the small energy differences between E and Z isomers of trisubstituted …

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 …

In the presence of catalytic [Ru (p‐cym) I2] 2 and the base guanidine carbonate, benzoic
acids react with internal alkynes to give the corresponding 2‐vinylbenzoic acids. This alkyne …

We highlight the reported developments of the palladium-catalyzed C–H activation and
functionalization of the inactive/unreactive prochiral C (sp3)–H bonds of aliphatic and …
