Abstract

The selective and efficient functionalization of CÀH bonds has attracted much attention from both academia and industry in the past decade,[1] and various methods, especially ones based on transition-metal catalysts, have been developed and applied in the synthesis of complex molecules.[1, 2] Although great progress has been made in this area, new processes for the construction of CÀC bonds starting from CÀH bonds are still highly ...
