Carbomagnesiation and carbozincation reactions are efficient and direct routes to prepare complex and stereodefined organomagnesium and organozinc reagents. However, carbon–carbon unsaturated bonds are generally unreactive toward organomagnesium and organozinc reagents. Thus, transition metals were employed to accomplish the carbometalation involving wide varieties of substrates and reagents. Recent advances of transition-metal-catalyzed carbomagnesiation and carbozincation reactions are reviewed in this article. The contents are separated into five sections: carbomagnesiation and carbozincation of (1) alkynes bearing an electron-withdrawing group; (2) alkynes bearing a directing group; (3) strained cyclopropenes; (4) unactivated alkynes or alkenes; and (5) substrates that have two carbon–carbon unsaturated bonds (allenes, dienes, enynes, or diynes).

The most recent advances in the construction of oxygen heterocycles by the directing-group-assisted transition-metal-catalyzed direct oxidative annulation of arenes with diverse alkynes are summarized in this review. More than 140 recent research papers and many closely related reviews are referenced in this paper. Nine different oxygen heterocycles frameworks are discussed. Several traditional transition-metal catalysts as well as some classical non-noble metals are utilized to promote the annulation. Three plausible controlling models are disclosed to clarify the excellent regioselectivity outcomes achieved in case of unsymmetrical alkyne substrates.1 Introduction2 Coumarins3 I socoumarins and Their Analogues4 2-Pyrones and Their Analogues5 Chromones and Chroman-4-ones6 Chromenes and Isochromenes7 Fused Polycyclic Oxygen Heteroaromatics8 Benzofurans, Dihydrobenzofurans, and Furans9 Phthalides and Benzofuranones10 Benzoxepines11 Conclusion

Over the last few decades, transition metal-catalyzed direct C-H activation with the assistance of a coordinating directing group has emerged as an atom- and stepeconomical synthetic tools to transform C–H bonds into carbon-carbon or carbonheteroatom bonds. Although the strategies involving regioselective C–H cleavage assisted by various directing groups have been extensively reviewed in the literature, we now attempt to give an overview of the recent advances on phosphorus-containing functional group assisted C-H activation reactions catalyzed by transition-metal catalysts including mechanistic study and synthetic applications. The discussion is directed towards C-H olefination, C-H activation/cyclization, C-H arylation, C-H amination, C-H hydroxylation and acetoxylation as well as miscellaneous C-H activation.

A comprehensive account of recent advances in the synthesis of imidazopyridines, assisted through transition-metal-catalyzed multicomponent reactions, C–H activation/functionalization and coupling reactions are highlighted in this review article. The basic illustration of this review comprises of schemes with concise account of explanatory text. The schemes depict the reaction conditions along with a quick look into the mechanism involved to render a deep understanding of the catalytic role. At some instances optimizations of certain features have been illustrated through tables, i.e., selectivity of catalyst, loading of the catalyst and percentage yield with different substrates. Each of the reported examples has been rigorously analyzed for reacting substrates, reaction conditions and transition metals used as the catalyst. This review will be helpful to the chemists in understanding the challenges associated with the reported methods as well as the future possibilities, both in the choice of substrates and catalysts. This review would be quite appealing to a wider range of organic chemists in academia and industrial R&D sectors working in the field of heterocyclic syntheses. In a nutshell, this review will be a guiding torch to envisage: (i) the role of various transition metals in the domain dedicated towards method development and (ii) for the modifications needed thereof in the R&D sector.

The use of electricity as an inexpensive and waste-free oxidant opens up new opportunities for the development of sustainable C–H functionalization reactions. Herein we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of biaryls through electrooxidative processes involving transition metal catalyzed ortho-directed C−H activation. A particular focus is set on electrooxidative C−H/C−M couplings and dehydrogenative couplings.
