This review summarizes recent advances in C–S and C–Se formations via transition metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization utilizing directing groups to control the site-selectivity.
This review summarizes the recent advances of transition metal oxide and chalcogenide-based antibacterial nanomaterials, with emphasis on their inactivation mechanisms and highlighting their practical applications.
Spirooxindoles are used as anticancer-, antiviral-, antimicrobial agents etc. The use of transition metals as catalysts for the synthesis of spirooxindoles is advancing rapidly. Here, we focus on recent advances in transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of spirooxindoles.
