Carbon-Hydrogen bond activation via a new charge control approach
Organic synthesis stands as the beating heart of technological and societal advancement, driving breakthroughs in drug discovery, agrochemistry, materials design, and the pursuit of a more sustainable world. In a world where C–H bonds are the main functional groups available, the field of C–H functionalisation has experienced exponential growth over the past two decades. While state-of-the-art methods have led to remarkable achievements, they remain confined by the dominance of substrate-controlled reactions driven by directing group logic, and by being largely reliant on precious metal catalysts. C-HANCE proposes to open a new page in C–H functionalisation, exploiting the emerging concept…
