Research and industrial interest in radical C–H activation/radical cross-coupling chemistry
has continuously grown over the past few decades. These reactions offer fascinating and …

The transition-metal-catalyzed addition of C–H bonds to carbonyls, imines, and related
polarized π bonds has emerged as a particularly efficient and powerful approach for the …

C− C bond formation is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. The development
of new synthetic methodology could be considered as a way of pursuing a novel method for …

The catalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has received intense attention
in recent years. The attractive feature of this coupling process is the formation of a C C …

In this Minireview, the major achievements in the acylation of arenes and heteroarenes by
C H activation with aroyl groups are summarized and discussed. As the products are …

The development of effective catalysts for the catalytic conversion of the harmful nitrophenol
(NP) into the useful aminophenol (AP) has received extensive interest. Herein, we report the …

A new and efficient metal-free tandem acylation/cyclization of alkynoates with aldehydes
was developed for the synthesis of 3-acyl-4-arylcoumarins. The reaction was achieved by …

A practical, convenient, and cheap copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of aromatic
alcohols and acetonitrile to β-ketonitriles has been developed. The green C–C bond …

From the viewpoint of meeting the current green chemistry challenges in chemical synthesis,
there is a need to disseminate how the cocktail of acylation and activation can play a pivotal …
