Since the definition of the “12 Principles of Green Chemistry” more than 20 years ago,
chemists have become increasingly mindful of the need to conserve natural resources and …

Catalytic transformation of ubiquitous C–H bonds into valuable C–N bonds offers an efficient
synthetic approach to construct N-functionalized molecules. Over the last few decades …

Transition-metal catalyzed reactions that are able to construct complex aliphatic amines from
simple, readily available feedstocks have become a cornerstone of modern synthetic …

In the field of C–H bond functionalization chemistry, directed C–H bond activation strategies
are highly appreciated due to the high efficiency and selectivity of such reactions towards a …

Direct catalytic modifications of carbon–hydrogen (CH) bonds, ubiquitous in organic
molecules, represent a powerful strategy in organic synthesis. In the past decade, chemists …

An efficient method for intermolecular branch-selective allylic C–H amidation has been
accomplished via Ir (III) catalysis. The reaction proceeds through initial allylic C–H activation …

Chiral variants of group IX Cp and Cp* catalysts are well established and catalyze a broad
range of reactions with high levels of enantioselectivity. Enantiocontrol in these systems …

Herein, we report the redox‐neutral, intermolecular, and highly branch‐selective amidation
of allylic C− H bonds enabled by Cp* IrIII catalysis. A variety of readily available carboxylic …

Catalytic carboxylation of the allylic C (sp3)–H bond of terminal alkenes with CO2 was
developed with the aid of a Co/Xantphos complex. A wide range of allylarenes and 1, 4 …

Nitrogen heterocycles are of great medicinal importance, and the construction of nitrogen
heterocyclic scaffolds has been one of the focuses in synthetic organic chemistry. Recently …
