In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of C–H activation methods
promoted by NHC–transition metal complexes, covering the literature since 2002 (the year …

The story of C− C bond formation includes several reactions, and surely Suzuki‐Miyaura is
among the most outstanding ones. Herein, a brief historical overview of insights regarding …

Cross-coupling reactions, which were discovered almost 50 years ago, are widely used in
both industry and academia. Even though cross-coupling reactions now represent mature …

Conspectus Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions represent a most powerful
tool for the rapid construction of C–C and C–X bonds available to synthetic chemists …

Pd-catalyzed amination reaction of aryl halides has attracted much attention in recent years.
This review underscores selected important recent developments in the catalysis of one of …

Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

In the last decade, major advances have been made in homogeneous gold catalysis.
However, AuI/AuIII catalytic cycle remains much less explored due to the reluctance of AuI to …

In recent years, significant conceptual advances have taken place in the field of amide bond
cross-coupling. Mild and selective functionalization of amides by transition-metal catalysis …

Cross-coupling reactions are among the most powerful C–C and C–X bond forming tools in
