Heterocyclic alkenes represent an important class of reactive feedstock and valuable
synthons for the synthesis of biologically important heterocyclic scaffolds. Although …

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 …

An unprecedented enantioselective synthesis of spiro‐γ‐lactams via a sequential C− H
olefination/asymmetric [4+ 1] spirocyclization under a simple CoII/chiral spiro phosphoric …

Transition-metal-catalyzed directed C–H alkenylation with maleimides has attracted much
attention in recent years, as maleimide core moieties are present in various natural products …

A visible light-driven di-functionalization of maleimide with disulfide and in situ-generated
singlet oxygen offers selective 1, 2-thiohydroxylation under additive-free conditions. Here …

A Mn (I)-catalyzed site-selective nondirected C3-maleimidation of quinoxaline is
established. Herein, the electrophilic C3-metalation precedes over the o-directed strategy to …

A Ru (II)-catalyzed facile and controllable protocol for C–H alkylation and spirocyclization of
2-arylquinoxalines with maleimides has been achieved under ambient air in high yields …

A Rh (III)-catalyzed dehydrogenative annulation and spirocyclization of 2-arylindoles and 2-
(1 H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1 H-indole with maleimides is described. The cascade protocol provided …

A room-temperature C–H bond functionalization of benzamides has been developed by
merging a photocatalyst with a cobalt catalyst for the synthesis of isoindolone …

A sustainable Mn (I)-catalyzed exclusive solvent-dependent functionalization of
imidazopyridine with maleimide via an electrophilic metalation at the distal (in 2, 2, 2 …
