Abstract
AbstractThis review provides a comprehensive overview and evaluation of the studies conducted over the past 15 years into copper catalyzed reactions for C(sp2)−C(sp2) bond formation via C(sp2)−H activation. The investigations encompass a wide array of starting materials and substrates. The range of substrates studied has been broadened to encompass C−H activation of aryls, heteroaryls, and alkenyl groups. Furthermore, in some cases only catalytic amounts of copper salts were required to drive the challenging C−H functionalization, indicating a promising avenue for future research.
