Palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis has emerged as a distinct approach to
construct polyfunctionalized arenes from readily available starting materials. This Review …

Transition-metal-catalyzed activation of C–H and C–C bonds is a challenging area in
synthetic organic chemistry. Among various methods to accomplish these processes, the …

The extraordinary impact of metal-based complexes on synthetic methods is still recognized
nowadays, and attempts are currently undertaken to further extend the use of metal-assisted …

Directing group assisted ortho‐C− H activation has been known for the last few decades. In
contrast, extending the same approach to achieve activation of the distal meta‐and para‐C …

Recent advances in transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization have profoundly
impacted synthetic strategy. Since organic substrates typically contain several chemically …

Cascade radical cyclization is an attractive synthetic method due to its high atom-and step-
economy to construct carbo-and heterocycles, which have wide applications in chemical …

The site-selective formation of carbonrcarbon bonds through direct functionalizations of
otherwise unreactive carbonrhydrogen bonds constitutes an economically attractive strategy …

The biaryl structural motif is a predominant feature in many pharmaceutically relevant and
biologically active compounds. As a result, for over a century1 organic chemists have sought …

Herein we report a highly meta-selective C–H arylation using simple tertiary amines as the
directing group. This method takes advantage of Pd/norbornene catalysis, offering a distinct …

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl metals and aryl halides or
pseudohalides have emerged as a powerful methodology for the formation of Csp3-Csp2 …
