C–H activation has surfaced as an increasingly powerful tool for molecular sciences, with
notable applications to material sciences, crop protection, drug discovery, and …

Transition metal-mediated C–H bond activation and functionalization represent one of the
most straightforward and powerful tools in modern organic synthetic chemistry. Bi (hetero) …

Azines, which are six-membered aromatic compounds containing one or more nitrogen
atoms, serve as ubiquitous structural cores of aromatic species with important applications in …

The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

The direct functionalization of heterocyclic compounds has emerged as one of the most
important topics in the field of metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation due to the fact that …

The selective oxidation of C H bonds and the use of O2 as a stoichiometric oxidant
represent two prominent challenges in organic chemistry. Copper (II) is a versatile oxidant …

In chemistry, a nucleophile is a molecule or ion with a lone pair of electrons. It donates both
bonding electrons to its reaction partner (the electrophile) when forming a chemical bond. 1 …

Homogeneous transition-metal-catalyzed reactions are indispensable to all facets of modern
chemical synthesis. It is thus difficult to imagine that for much of the early 20th century, the …

An auxiliary-assisted, copper catalyzed or promoted sulfenylation of benzoic acid derivative
β-C–H bonds and benzylamine derivative γ-C–H bonds has been developed. The method …

For green and sustainable chemistry, molecular oxygen is considered as an ideal oxidant
due to its natural, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly characteristics, and therefore …
