Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The direct activation and functionalization of C–H bonds has become an attractive synthetic strategy for C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation. This approach avoids the use of pre-functionalized substrates and is also atom economical and step efficient, making it a suitable alternative for the greener and more energy efficient synthesis of target molecules such as intermediates, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and natural products.
The C–H bond is ubiquitous, and the selective activation of this bond is the most important issue to consider when during these transformations. Although directing group assistance provides a good solution to the reactivity and the control of regioselectivity over a specific type of C–H bond, site-selective activation is still an ongoing challenge. Homogeneous catalysis based on transition metal complexes plays a predominant role due to the high activity of these complexes, which allow this type of reaction to conduct highly selective processes while under mild reaction conditions. Currently, a heterogeneous catalysis has been developed that is based on immobilized metal complexes or metal nanoparticles and that uses greener solvents as well as an alternative energy source, all of which have improved the overall sustainability of the activation approach for C–H bonds.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent advances in regio- and stereoselective C–H functionalization that involves both C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H activation and that is involved with the formation of either C–C or C–heteroatom bonds.
