Tutorial Review
In this tutorial review, we will summarize our recent efforts in transition metal-catalyzed oxidative coupling via C–H functionalization of aromatic, benzylic and allylic C–H bonds. Related works from other laboratories will be cited where suitable, aiming to give the readers a flavor of this field. Special emphasis is placed on the reaction design and development.
