We are entering an era that emphasizes greenness and sustainability. Based on such a philosophy, it is critical to uncover novel and original sustainable reaction modes for future green chemical syntheses. The cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has thus been widely developed as one of the...
