Abstract:The regioselective C–H activation of arenes remains one of the most promising techniques to access highly important functionalized motifs. Such functionalizations can generally be achieved through directed and non-directed processes. The directed approach requires a covalently attached directing group (DG) on the substrate to induce reactivity and selectivity, and therefore intrinsically leaves a functional group at the point of attachment within the molecule, even after the tailored DG has been removed.
