This review is focused on the analysis of current data on new methods of alkenylation of
arenes and heteroarenes with alkynes by transition metal catalyzed reactions …

Synthetically useful functional groups, including ketones, amides, carbamates, carboxylic
acids, aldehydes or ethers, have been identified as weakly coordinating directing groups in …

Ru-Catalyzed aromatic C–H bond activation and functionalization have emerged as
important topics because they have resulted in remarkable progress in organic synthesis …

The hydroarylation of alkynes with substituted aromatics in the presence of a metal catalyst
via chelation-assisted C–H bond activation is a powerful method to synthesize trisubstituted …

In the presence of catalytic [Ru (p‐cym) I2] 2 and the base guanidine carbonate, benzoic
acids react with internal alkynes to give the corresponding 2‐vinylbenzoic acids. This alkyne …

Since the beginning of the 21st century, significant progress has been made in transition
metal‐catalyzed C–H functionalization of aromatic amides. The achievements in this field …

The past decades have witnessed rapid development in organic synthesis via catalysis,
particularly the reactions through C–H bond functionalization. Transition metals such as Pd …

An efficient Ru (II)-catalyzed hydroarylation of maleimides with ready-stock aryl carboxylic
acids has been developed based on weak carboxylate-directed ortho-C–H alkylation and …

Site selectivity is an inherent challenge in C–H functionalization reactions. The most
intensively sought‐after approaches have involved the employment of Lewis‐basic …

Rhodium‐catalyzed directed CH‐functionalizations have been used in hydroarylations of
heterobicyclic alkenes with NH‐sulfoximines. Unexpectedly, the bicyclic framework is …
