Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross dehydrogenative coupling is a highly efficient tool for functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds. In particular, the inexpensive first-row transition metals have been demonstrated as effective catalysts in this process. This microreview summarizes recent progress in two classes of first-row-transition-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative reactions: intramolecular cyclization for C-C bond formation, and directed site-selective C-H functionalization. These transformations provide concise and practical approaches for preparation of various organic compounds, but so far they are underdeveloped.
