Carbon–heteroatom bonds (C–X) are ubiquitous and are among the most reactive components of organic compounds. Therefore investigations of the construction of C–X bonds are fundamental and vibrant fields in organic chemistry. Transition-metal-catalyzed heteroatom–hydrogen bond (X–H) insertions via a...
