Quinoline is a versatile heterocycle that is part of numerous natural products and countless drugs. During the last decades, this scaffold also became widely used as ligand in organometallic catalysis. Therefore, access to functionalized quinolines is of great importance and continuous efforts have been made to develop efficient and regioselective synthetic methods. In this regard, C-H functionalization through transition metal catalysis, which is nowadays the Graal of organic green chemistry, represents the most attractive strategy. We aim herein at providing a comprehensive review of methods that allow site-selective metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization of quinolines, or their quinoline N-oxides counterparts, with a specific focus on their scope and limitations, as well as mechanistic aspects if that accounts for the selectivity.

Enantioenriched α-aryl carbonyl compounds are ubiquitous in natural products and biologically active compounds. Their synthesis has been explored over the last few decades and several methods now exist that allow for the enantioselective formation of a C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond in α-position to a carbonyl group. However, although the formation of quaternary stereocenters has been fairly well established, the enantioselective formation of tertiary stereocenters proved more challenging due to facile product post-reaction racemization. In this short review, we summarize the methods reported so far for the asymmetric α-arylation of enolates and analogues that rely on transition metal catalysis.

The transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization of azoles has emerged as one of the most important strategies to decorate these biologically important scaffolds. Despite significant progress in the C–H functionalization of various heteroarenes, the regioselective alkylation and alkenylation of azoles are still arduous transformations in many cases. This review covers recent advances in the direct C–H alkenylation, alkylation and alkynylation of azoles utilizing transition metal-catalysis. Moreover, the limitations of different strategies, chemoselectivity and regioselectivity issues will be discussed in this review.

Compared with the traditional Grignard reaction, direct insertion of polar double bonds to C–H bonds via transition-metal catalysis is ideal from the viewpoint of atom-, step- and cost-economy and the avoidance of the waste emission, as well as of the complex manipulation of sensitive reagents.

Predictably site-selective catalytic methods for intermolecular C(sp3)–H hydroxylation and amination hold great promise for the synthesis and late-stage modification of complex molecules. Transition-metal catalysis has been the most common approach for early investigations of this type of reaction. In comparison, there are far fewer ­reports of organocatalytic methods for direct oxygen or nitrogen insertion into C–H bonds. Herein, we provide an overview of early efforts in this area, with particular emphasis on our own recent development of an iminium salt that catalyzes both oxygen and nitrogen insertion.1 Introduction2 Background: C–H Oxidation Capabilities of Heterocyclic Oxidants3 Oxaziridine-Mediated Catalytic Hydroxylation4 Dioxirane-Mediated Catalytic Hydroxylation5 Iminium Salt Catalysis of Hydroxylation and Amination6 Conclusion and Outlook
