Weak Interactions in Carbon-Hetero Atom Bond Forming Reactions

Abstract

Controlling various reactions by multiple weak interactions or soft forces has become an widespread topic under supramolecular catalysis. This review has made a literature collection that explores cooperative weak or noncovalent interactions. These are charge transfer complexation, H-bonding, S-H…π, acid-base, cation- π, etc., towards C-hetero bond formation reactions. This review article will discuss the specific reactivity of chemical systems controlled by weak interactions.
