Direct C–H functionalization on heteroaromatic rings

Abstract

Direct C–H functionalization on heteroaromatic rings has emerged as a prominent topic in the field of catalytic organic synthesis. Among these, oxidative coupling methodologies involving C–H bond functionalization have gained significant attention due to their step economy and energy efficiency. This synopsis focuses on recent advances in coupling reactions on various heteroaromatic rings via C–H bond functionalization. We made significant contributions to C–H functionalization on heteroaromatic rings and aim to provide a conceptual summary that will be useful to researchers and inspire further developments in this rapidly growing field.
