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 …

Organic transformations catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl complexes of Group 9 metals (cobalt,
rhodium and iridium) are the key steps of the total synthesis of various natural products …

Comprehensive computational studies were carried out to explore the mechanisms of
enantioselective Cu/Pd and stereodivergent Cu/Ir dual-catalytic syntheses of α, α …

The late-stage functionalization (LSF) of pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds by
the site-selective activation of C–H bonds provides access to diverse structural analogs and …

Stereodivergent syntheses of bioactive tetrahydro-γ-carbolines have been achieved via
synergistic chiral Cu/Ir catalysis [Nat. Commun. 2019, 10, 5553], in which three stereogenic …

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 …

Cp*‐free cobalt‐catalyzed alkyne annulations by C− H/N− H functionalizations were
accomplished with molecular O2 as the sole oxidant. The user‐friendly oxidase strategy …

Herein, we report the ruthenium-catalyzed ortho C–H alkenylation of a wide range of N-
aryloxazolidinone scaffolds. Alkenylation was achieved with complete monoselectivity with a …

Rh-catalyzed weak and traceless directing-group-assisted cascade C–H activation and
annulation of sulfoxonium ylides with vinyl cyclopropanes as a coupling partner have been …

The merging of transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation with electro-oxidation has
evolved into an appealing protocol for oxidative C–H bond functionalization. Nevertheless …
