Abstract

The CÀH bond activation of organic compounds is one of the most useful synthetic methods for the fuctionalization of simple molecules.[1] The activation of unsaturated compounds can be achieved using transition-metal catalysts, and the coordination of a metal center to the π bond plays an important role in the reaction process.[1b] On the other hand, alkanes (saturated organic compounds) are known to be much less reactive towards CÀH bond ...
