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 …

Organothianthrenium salts are a class of compounds containing a positively charged sulfur
atom and a neutral sulfur atom. Over the past years, organothianthrenium salts have been …

Transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations have been the focus of intensive
research over the last decades for the formation of C–C bonds from unfunctionalized arenes …

Direct catalytic transformation of C–H bonds to new functionalities has provided a powerful
strategy to synthesize complex molecular scaffolds in a straightforward way. Unstinting …

Conspectus Aromatic structures are widespread motifs throughout organic chemistry, and C–
H activation has been recognized as a major tool for enabling their sustainable and efficient …

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

The development of methods for the functionalization of otherwise inert C–H bonds is one of
