ABSTRACT

The prevalence of literature concerning C-H activations has increased dramatically over the last decade as more and more synthetically useful and efcient methodologies have become available. Several excellent reviews on C-H activation exist, including the use of different metal catalysts,1 the use of C-H functionalizations in natural product synthesis,2,3 and aryl-aryl bond formations,4 and in catalytic C-H aminations.5
