“…Transition metal catalysis has revolutionized CÀ H functionalization and in particular late transition metals, such as palladium, [18,24,35,39,59] ruthenium, [60,61] rhodium, [62,63] iridium, [64,65] gold, [66][67][68][69] and platinum, [70,71] have exhibited powerful catalytic efficiencies. These transition metals react first with the CÀ H bonds in a process called CÀ H activation [30,72] to produce a reactive CÀ M bond, which is further converted to new functional groups under mild conditions leading to a highly stepand atom-economical process.…”
