Abstract

Nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds have had a profound effect on human health because these chemical motifs are found in a large number of drugs used to combat a broad range of diseases and pathophysiological conditions. Advances in transition-metal-mediated cross- coupling have simplified the synthesis of such molecules; however, C–H functionalization of medicinally important heterocycles that does not rely on pre-functionalized starting ...
