Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of metal-catalyzed sp2 C-H functionalization has enriched the chemists’ toolbox to synthesize molecules with amazing complexity. This strategy of employing abundant simple hydrocarbons as feedstocks could avoid the application of prefunctionalized starting reagents and simplify the synthetic routes and improve the utilization of atoms. sp2 C-H functionalization may allow synthetic chemists to introduce a diverse range of functionalities to sp2 carbon centers of molecules. This Special Issue attempts to unveil the most recent and pertinent developments regarding the metal-catalyzed sp2 C-H bond functionalization reaction in thermo-, electro-, and photocatalysis, which will include C−H/C−H cross-coupling reaction, C-H/X-H cross-coupling reaction, C-H addition reaction, etc. Contributions should focus on a broad range of metal catalytic sp2 C-H functionalization studies, methodologies, or mechanisms.

This Special Issue of Catalysts aims to collect articles provided by the best researchers worldwide, with which readers will be able to get related articles on the topic of “Advanced Metal-Catalyzed sp2 C-H Bond Functionalization Reaction”, including full papers, communications, and reviews.

An improved para-selective C(sp2)-H borylation of anisole derivatives is described. The selective borylation is probably dominated by the change in electron density on the aromatic ring when a Lewis acid is coordinated with an anisole substrate. In addition, a sterically hindered bipyridyl ligand used in the reaction also favors para-selectivity. With this strategy, it has been demonstrated that the ratio of para-borylated products could be dramatically improved. The reaction proceeds at a milder temperature, and most substrates display moderate to good site-selectivity. Full article
