“…The activation of C–X bonds (X = H, N, O, S, P, halogen) − demands different synthetic strategies including variable temperature and/or tuned pressure, − anaerobic atmosphere, , metal catalyst, strained ring system, , viz. alkylidenecyclopropanaones and cyclohexadienones. , However, the activation of C sp 3 –C sp 3 σ bonds through a facile approach is rare. Recently, the metal-catalyzed C–C bond activation processes have earned increasing interest because of their high atom and step economy .…”
