The site-selective C–H bond functionalization of heteroarenes can eventually provide
chemists with great techniques for editing and building complex molecular scaffolds. During …

Transition metal-catalysed functionalizations of inert C–H bonds to construct C–C bonds
represent an ideal route in the synthesis of valuable organic molecules. Fine tuning of …

Over the past decade, the use of 3d transition metal for the regioselective C− H bond
functionalization of indoles has significantly increased. Particularly, advances in …

Selective editing of the benzenoid C− H bonds (C4− C7) in indoles/indolines has received
great interest because functionalized indoles/indolines are featured in many marketed drugs …

Indoles and their analogues have been one of the most ubiquitous heterocycles during the
past century, and extensive studies have been conducted to establish practical synthetic …

Site-selective direct functionalization of an indole benzenoid core has been a great
challenge due to its inherently poor reactivity. We herein demonstrate an iridium-catalyzed …

In the last decade, transition-metal-catalyzed direct C–H bond functionalization has been
recognized as one of most efficient approaches for the derivatization of thioethers. Within …

Rhodium-catalysed cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) has received considerable
attention in recent years. This modern technology has been considered as an attractive …

Benzothiophenes, activated by oxidation to the corresponding S‐oxides, undergo C− H/C−
H‐type coupling with phenols to give C4 arylation products. While an electron‐withdrawing …

The sulfhydryl-directed peri-selective C–H bond activation and tandem cyclization of
naphthalene-1-thiols with alkynes proceed efficiently. Most products of naphthothiopyrans …
