Strategic evolution in transition metal-catalyzed directed C–H bond activation and future directions

In the field of C–H bond functionalization chemistry, directed C–H bond activation strategies are highly appreciated due to the high efficiency and selectivity of such reactions towards a certain type of C–H bond. Considering extraordinarily rapid progress in directed C–H bond functionalization reactions, we summarize the strategic evolution of directed C–H bond activation chemistry in this review. We feel that this review would be of particular...
