Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed CÀH activation and functionalization is an area of broad interest as it enables the rapid creation of complex molecules in an atom-economic fashion.[1] The selective formation of CÀC bonds by means of CÀH activation of unactivated C (sp3) ÀH bonds without any directing groups in close proximity is still a challenging task in transition- metal catalysis and a highly active field of current research.[2] In the last decade gold ...
