C–H activation has surfaced as an increasingly powerful tool for molecular sciences, with
notable applications to material sciences, crop protection, drug discovery, and …

The C− N bond is one of the most abundant chemical bonds and widely exists in many
organic molecules and biomacromolecules. The formation and transformation of C− N …

Transition-metal catalysed C–N bond activation has attracted much attention and become
one of the most promising bond disconnection and formation strategies that encompass a …

The first cobalt-catalyzed cyanation, halogenation, and allylation via C–H activation have
been realized. These formal SN-type reactions generate valuable (hetero) aryl/alkenyl …

Aryl nitriles are widely found in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and
herbicides. Moreover, because the cyano group can be easily converted into various …

Oxidation reactions are central components of organic chemistry, and modern organic
synthesis increasingly requires selective and mild oxidation methods. Although researchers …

Carboxylate assistance proved to be the key for the success of efficient cobalt (III)‐catalyzed
C H cyanations. Thus, an in situ generated cationic cobalt complex was identified as a …

Aromatic nitriles are prepared efficiently through transition‐metal‐mediated cyanation of aryl
(pseudo) halides with metallic cyano‐group sources, such as CuCN, KCN, NaCN, Zn (CN) …

Major new advances in synthetic chemistry methods are typically reported using simple, non-
standardized reaction substrates, and reaction failures are rarely documented. This makes …

A copper-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl-and alkenylboronic acids with Togni's reagent
was described. The reaction proceeded in good to excellent yields for a range of different …
