The omnipresent character of C−H bonds in organic molecules gives a wide variety of opportunities for the synthesis of a number of functionalized molecules by the activation of the C−H bonds. One of those methods is gold‐catalyzed C−H activation. Recent developments in the area of gold‐catalyzed C−H activation involves annulation reactions leading to the formation of heterocyclic compounds, Au‐catalyzed cross coupling reactions, and C−H functionalization reactions with high atom efficiency. In this short review we summarize the developments and studies carried out in gold‐catalyzed C−H activation over the past decade.
This review focuses on the recent achievements in the field of cobalt-catalyzed multi-component reactions that could access a wide range of acyclic compounds, carbocyclic compounds and heterocyclic compounds. Multi-component reactions (MCRs) gained significant interest in organic synthesis since they could be utilized to achieve complex products from readily available starting materials in an environment-friendly manner. This review covers the literature up to 2019 and is the first one that emphasizes on cobalt-catalyzed one-pot multi-component reactions.
The review comprehends the usage of arylsulfinamides for the construction of diverse N-heterocycles like piperidines, pyrrolidines, aziridines, and their fused derivatives.
The catalytic activity of silver and its salts in various reactions leads to a vast
variety of organic compounds having significant applications in organic synthesis. This
review gives a comprehensive study on silver-catalyzed multi-component reactions that
attracted the interest of the scientific world through ecofriendly, atom-economic and mild
conditions. The silver-catalyzed multi-component synthesis of organic compounds
including aliphatic, aromatic and heterocycles are divided into subsections based on the
types of bond formed and covers literature up to 2019.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
