Contemporary organic synthesis faces the demands of improving its efficiency [1] by redox and atom economy, including achieving superior chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity.[2] Consequently, there has been great interest in the transformations of inert CÀH bonds, as these open up new avenues in synthesis. Significant progress has been made towards site- selective CÀH-insertion reactions,[3] but this field still presents major challenges [4] owing ...
