The Latest Advancements in the Acylation Reactions via Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling and/or Metal Catalysts

Abstract

There are quite many examples in the scientific literature regarding the acylation reactions, especially the metal-catalyzed acylation reactions, metal-free acylation reactions, metalcatalyzed acylation via cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions and metal-free acylation via cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions. In this review paper, the most important examples of these domains were brought together and their mechanisms were exhibited in a clear, chronological format. Following these, the best example study towards green chemistry with a metal-free and high-yielding route was mentioned and discussed to demonstrate what has achieved in this field regarding the new acylation reaction mechanisms using the advantages of crossdehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions. The most prominent studies regarding these domains have been examined thoroughly and the latest progress in this field was explained in detail.
