Summary:Silver, known and utilized since ancient times, is a coinage metal, which has been widely used for various organic transformations in the past few decades. Currently, the silver-catalyzed reaction is one of the frontier areas in organic chemistry, and the progress of research in this field is very rapid. Compared with other transition metals, silver has long been believed to have low catalytic efficiency, and most commonly, it is used as either a cocatalyst or a Lewis acid. Interestingly, the discovery of Ag-catalysis has been significantly improved in recent years. Especially, Ag( i ) has been demonstrated as an important and versatile catalyst for a variety of organic transformations. However, so far, there has been no systematic review on Ag-catalyzed C-H/C-C bond functionalization. In this review, we will focus on the development of Ag-catalyzed C-H/C-C bond functionalization and the corresponding mechanism. In this review, we focus on the developments of Ag-catalyzed C-H/C-C bond functionalization and the corresponding mechanism.
Bibliography:Qing-Zhong Zheng was born in Anhui Province, China. He received his PhD degree (2011) (with Prof. Qing-Cai Jiao) from Nanjing University. From 2011 to 2013 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Ning Jiao at Peking University. In 2013, he joined the faculty of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Ningxia University and began his independent career. His current research interests focus on (1) new synthetic methods involving transition-metal catalysis and (2) the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
Ning Jiao received his PhD degree (2004) (with Prof. Shengming Ma) from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), CAS. From 2004 to 2006 he worked as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Manfred T. Reetz at Max Planck Institute fur Kohlenforschung. In 2007, he joined the faculty at Peking University as an Associate Professor, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2010. His current research efforts are focused on (1) developing green and efficient synthetic methodologies through the single electron transfer (SET) process; (2) aerobic oxidation, oxygenation and nitrogenation reactions; and (3) the first-row transition metal catalysis and the inert chemical bond activation.
