The direct functionalization of C H bonds in organic compounds has recently emerged as a
powerful and ideal method for the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom …

Activation of aromatic C H bonds by a transition metal catalyst has received significant
attention in the synthetic chemistry community. In recent years, rapid and site‐selective …

The development and application of efficient, convenient, selective, and environmentally
benign synthetic methods is highly desirable in organic chemistry. With this requirement …

The area of transition‐metal‐catalyzed direct arylation through cleavage of C H bonds has
undergone rapid development in recent years, and is becoming an increasingly viable …

The development of operationally straightforward and cost-effective routes for the assembly
of heterocycles from simple inputs is important for many scientific endeavors, including …

This review focuses on chelation-assisted regioselective C–H activation with C–C or/and C–
N bond formation using nickel (0) or-(II) as the catalysts, where bidentate directing groups …

We have developed a method for auxiliary-directed, palladium-catalyzed β-arylation and
alkylation of sp3 and sp2 C− H bonds in carboxylic acid derivatives. The method employs a …

The alkylation of the ortho C–H bonds in benzamides and acrylamides containing an 8-
aminoquinoline moiety as a bidentate directing group with unactivated alkyl halides using …

A striking breakthrough to the frame of traditional cross-couplings/C− H functionalizations
using an organocatalyst remains unprecedented. We uncovered a conceptually different …
