The functionalization of C (sp3)− H bonds streamlines chemical synthesis by allowing the
use of simple molecules and providing novel synthetic disconnections. Intensive recent …

The construction of carbon–carbon bonds is a central tenet of modern synthetic chemistry.
Metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization can serve as a particularly powerful tool for achieving …

Donor/donor carbenes are relatively new in the field of carbene chemistry; although
applications in C− H and X− H insertion reactions are few in number, they demonstrate …

Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

C H oxidation has a long history and an ongoing presence in research at the forefront of
chemistry and interrelated fields. As such, numerous highly useful articles and reviews have …

From its earliest observation as an unusual reaction only a half century ago, 1 the insertion
of a carbene into a carbonrhydrogen bond has attracted considerable interest because of its …

Hydrocarbons, especially saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), are the main constituents of oil
and natural gas, the feedstocks for chemical industry. Therefore, it is obvious that …

Novel reactions that can selectively functionalize carbon–hydrogen bonds are of intense
interest to the chemical community because they offer new strategic approaches for …

The demand for more efficient ways to construct complex chemical structures from simple,
readily available precursors continues unabated. A very attractive way to meet this demand …

A major challenge in organic synthesis today is to devise reactions that can form several
carbon-carbon bonds in one operation leading to the construction of polycyclic structures …
