The direct functionalization of C (sp3)–H bonds represents one of the most investigated
approaches to develop new synthetic methodology. Among the available strategies for …

Considerable advances have been made in the area of C− H functionalization in the last few
decades. A number of approaches including both directed and nondirected strategies have …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

Global warming is creating a distressing situation around the globe and, accordingly,
requires substantial solutions. Among the potential solutions are shifting towards renewable …

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations have had an enormous influence on
organic synthesis in recent times. However, the use of low-abundance 4d and 5d metals is …

Regioselective functionalization of arenes remains a challenging problem in organic
synthesis. Steric interactions are often used to block sites adjacent to a given substituent, but …

Over the last decade, high-valent cobalt catalysis has earned a place in the spotlight as a
valuable tool for C–H activation and functionalization. Since the discovery of its unique …

C–H bonds are ubiquitous in organic molecules. Homogenous gold-catalyzed direct
functionalization of unsaturated C–H bonds has emerged as a powerful method in our …

An enantioselective [4+ 3] cyclization via C (sp2)–H activation with a cooperative catalytic
system consisting of a Cp* Rh (III) complex and a chiral Lewis base is described. An α, β …

The study of new C–H silylation reagents and reactions remains an important topic. We
reported that under Rh catalysis, silacyclobutanes (SCBs) for the first time were able to react …
