Transition-metal-catalyzed, coordination-assisted C (sp3)–H functionalization has
revolutionized synthetic planning over the past few decades as the use of these directing …

During the past decades, synthetic organic chemistry discovered that directing group
assisted C–H activation is a key tool for the expedient and siteselective construction of C–C …

The present review is devoted to summarizing the recent advances (2015–2017) in the field
of metal-catalysed group-directed C–H functionalisation. In order to clearly showcase the …

Herein, we disclose an efficient cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective C–H activation and
annulation of benzamides with alkenes. This transformation is facilitated via the …

C–H functionalisation promises a paradigm shift in synthetic planning. However, the
additional steps often required to install and remove directing groups currently detract from …

The use of directing groups allows high levels of selectivity to be achieved in transition metal‐
catalyzed transformations. Efficient removal of these auxiliaries after successful …

An enantioselective addition reaction of various alkyl groups to unactivated internal alkenes
under Cu catalysis has been developed. The reaction uses amide-linked aminoquinoline as …

Directed C–H functionalization is a powerful means to functionalize otherwise unreactive C–
H bonds, for which aminoquinoline amides provide a powerful and frequently used directing …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed C− H functionalization and photoredox nickel dual catalysis
have emerged as innovative and powerful avenues for the synthesis of C‐branched …

Direct catalytic alcoholysis of unactivated amides is one of the most difficult challenges in
organic chemistry, and an applicable method for cleaving amides used as directing groups …
