Rhodium-catalyzed C–H activation has emerged as a cornerstone of modern synthetic chemistry, offering a direct route to functionalise otherwise inert carbon–hydrogen bonds. Central to these strategies ...

C –H activation is the art of snipping specific bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms on an organic molecule to graft a new functional group in place of the relatively unreactive H atom. Over the ...

Organic molecules are peppered with carbon-hydrogen bonds, and chemists have built up a fantastic toolbox of methods to break these bonds and put more useful functional groups in their place. This ...
