Transition-metal-catalyzed additions of C-H bonds to C-X (X = N, O) multiple bonds via C-H bond activation

Chemical transformations via catalytic C-H bond activation have been established as one of the most powerful tools in organic synthetic chemistry. Transition-metal-catalyzed addition reactions of C-H bonds to polar C-X (X = N, O) multiple bonds, such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, isocyanates, nitri...

Summary:Chemical transformations via catalytic C-H bond activation have been established as one of the most powerful tools in organic synthetic chemistry. Transition-metal-catalyzed addition reactions of C-H bonds to polar C-X (X = N, O) multiple bonds, such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, isocyanates, nitriles, isocyanides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, have undergone a rapid development in recent years. In this review, recent advances in this active area have been highlighted and their mechanisms have been discussed. A review highlighting recent advances and mechanisms of transition-metal-catalyzed addition reactions of C-H bonds to polar C-X (X = N, O) multiple bonds, such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, isocyanates, nitriles, isocyanides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Bibliography:Minghua Yang was born in 1971, in Hunan, China. He obtained his B.Sc. degree in chemistry from Hubei Normal University and M.Sc. degree from the Hubei University (China). He received his Ph.D. degree from Nanjing University in 2005 under the supervision of Chengjiang Zhu and Yi Pan, and then entered Lishui University as an associate professor. In 2006, He joined Dr Liu's group at the University of Macquarie (Australia) as a visiting professor and then returned to Lishui University in 2007, where he is still working today. He became a professor in 2010. Apart from the development of asymmetric reactions for obtaining chiral organochalcogenide compounds, his research interests include the transition-metal-catalyzed formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds.
Xiangmei Wu was born in Zhejiang, China, in 1971. She obtained her B.Sc. degree from Zhejiang Normal University. Her M.Sc. degree was obtained from Zhejiang University of Technology in 2005, followed by her Ph.D. degree in 2009. She has been at Lishui University since 1993. She became a professor in 2009. Her current research interests focus on the transition-metal-catalyzed formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds and green synthetic chemistry.
Guobing Yan was born in 1975, in Jiangxi, China. He obtained his B.Sc. degree from Jinggangshan University, his M.Sc. degree from Suzhou University, and his Ph.D. degree from Tongji University in 2010. He spent two years in 2008 and 2009 as visiting student in Professor Jianbo Wang's laboratory at Peking University. He has been at Lishui University since 2010 as an associate professor. His current research interests focus on the transition-metal-catalyzed activation of inert chemical bonds and green synthetic chemistry.
