Transition-metal catalyzed directing group (DG) assisted annulation of inert C–H bonds
leads to the formation of complex molecular frameworks from readily accessible substrates …

Ruthenium complexes are well known as remarkable pre-catalysts for challenging C–H
bond functionalizations. Combining them with other types of chemical reactions in a tandem …

The C− H functionalization strategy provides access to valuable molecules that previously
required convoluted synthetic attempts. Dual C− H unsymmetrical functionalization, with a …

Amides are ubiquitous in physical and life sciences. Given the significant abundance of
arenes, dearomative aminocarbonylation of arenes would lead to a large and …

The weakly coordinating enaminone functionality has been leveraged for a C–H bond
activation strategy under ruthenium catalysis and employed in the regioselective annulative …

Although dearomative functionalizations enable the direct conversion of flat aromatics into
precious three‐dimensional architectures, the case for simple arenes remains largely …

Multiple C− H bond functionalizations promptly install diverse groups on the molecular
framework and consequently fabricate complex molecular entities. This review briefly …

A free amine-directed ruthenium (II)-catalyzed hydroarylation and concomitant
regioselective transamidation cascade between 2-aminobiphenyls and diversely substituted …

Direct difunctionalization of chemically distinct ortho-and peri-C–H bonds of fused hetero
(arenes) is illustrated through an unusual one-pot domino {[4+ 2] & [5+ 2]} double annulation …

A copper-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative C–H/N–H coupling has been devised to access
a series of N-arylated sulfoximines in high yield from 8-aminoquinoline-derived benzamides …
