C-H Bond Functionalization in Complex Organic Synthesis

Godula, Kamil, Sames, Dalibor·2006·Science

Abstract

Direct and selective replacement of carbon-hydrogen bonds with new bonds (such as C–C, C–O, and C–N) represents an important and long-standing goal in chemistry. These transformations have broad potential in synthesis because C–H bonds are ubiquitous in organic substances. At the same time, achieving selectivity among many different C–H bonds remains a challenge. Here, we focus on the functionalization of C–H bonds in complex organic substrates catalyzed by transition metal catalysts. We outline the key concepts and approaches aimed at achieving selectivity in complex settings and discuss the impact these reactions have on synthetic planning and strategy in organic synthesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
