The design of synthetic routes by retrosynthetic logic is decisively influenced by the
transformations available. Transition‐metal‐catalyzed C− H activation has emerged as a …

Transition metal‐catalyzed enantioselective functionalization of C− H bond, the most
abundant functionality in organic molecules, has emerged as an expedient synthetic …

Driven by the inherent synthetic potential of CO2 as an abundant, inexpensive and
renewable C1 chemical feedstock, the recent years have witnessed renewed interest in …

The enantioselective synthesis of molecules containing quaternary stereocenters is a field of
intense research interest and development. Among the known organic transformations …

Achieving selective C− H activation at a single and strategic site in the presence of multiple
C− H bonds can provide a powerful and generally useful retrosynthetic disconnection. In this …

Over the last decade, substantial research has led to the introduction of an impressive
number of efficient procedures which allow the selective construction of C C bonds by …

C H bonds are ubiquitous in organic compounds. It would, therefore, appear that direct
functionalization of substrates by activation of C H bonds would eliminate the multiple …

The exponential increase in the number of catalytic transformations that involve a metal‐
promoted activation of hitherto considered inert C− H bonds is promoting a fundamental …

The direct functionalization of C H bonds in organic compounds has recently emerged as a
powerful and ideal method for the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom …

Abstract In 2010, Richard Heck, Ei‐ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki joined the prestigious
circle of Nobel Laureate chemists for their roles in discovering and developing highly …
