Carboxylic acids are important in a variety of research fields and applications. As a result, substantial efforts have been directed towards the C–H functionalization of such compounds. While the use of the carboxylic acid moiety as a native directing group for C(sp2)–H functionalization reactions is well established, as yet there is no general solution for the C(sp3)–H activation of aliphatic carboxylic acids and most endeavors have instead relied on the introduction of stronger directing groups. Recently however, novel ligands, tools, and strategies have emerged, which enable the use of free aliphatic carboxylic acids in C–H-activation-based transformations.1 Introduction2 Challenges in the C(sp3)–H Bond Activation of Carboxylic Acids3 The Lactonization of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids4 The Directing Group Approach5 The Direct C–H Arylation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids6 The Direct C–H Olefination of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids7 The Direct C–H Acetoxylation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids8 Summary

Pd-catalyzed selective amine-oriented C8–H bond functionalization/N-dealkylative carbonylation of naphthyl amines has been achieved. The amine group from dealkylation is proposed to be the directing group for promoting this process. It represents a straightforward and easy method to access various biologically important benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one derivatives.

In recent years, the C–H bond activation field has known very fast expansion offering valuable synthetic tools. Consequently, the quest for new approaches to afford atom- and step-economical processes has driven the scientific community to imagine original strategies. In this context, the direct functionalization of substrates by a transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation using a transient directing group has emerged as a promising approach. This short review focuses on the major progress made in this field to provide to the reader an overview of the recent advances.1 Introduction2 From a Historical Point of View3 Functionalization of Carbonyl Derivatives4 Functionalization of Amines Derivatives5 Summary and Outlook

An efficient palladium-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization/ortho-monoacylation reaction of 3-aryl-1,2,4-benzotriazines with (hetero)aryl or alkyl aldehydes has been developed, which offers a facile and alternative strategy for direct modification and further diversification of 3-aryl-1,2,4-benzotriazines. Bioactive 1,2,4-benzotriazine has been employed as a novel directing group for the palladium-catalyzed regioselective monoacylation of sp2 C–H bond protocol with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

The carboxylic acid moiety is one of the most versatile and abundant functional groups. However, despite of tremendous progress in the field of C–H functionalization reactions its use as a directing group for C(sp3)–H activation has remained limited. In this Synpact article we present the challenges associated with the carboxylic acid moiety as a native directing group and report on the newest developments in this field, including our recent study in which we developed a generally applicable protocol for the direct palladium catalyzed β-C(sp3)–H arylation of propionic acid and related α-branched aliphatic acids giving access to hydrocinnamic acids derivatives in a highly straightforward manner.1 Introduction2 Challenges in the C(sp3)–H Bond Activation of Carboxylic Acids3 History/State of the Art4 Studies towards a General β-C(sp3)–H Functionalization of ­Aliphatic Acids5 Conclusion

<p>Despite the widespread applications of C–H functionalization, controlling site selectivity remains a significant challenge. Covalently attached directing group (DG) served as an ancillary ligand to ensure proximal <i>ortho</i>-, distal <i>meta</i>- and <i>para</i>-C-H functionalization over the last two decades. These covalently linked DGs necessitate two extra steps for a single C–H functionalization: introduction of DG prior to C–H activation and removal of DG post-functionalization. We introduce here a transient directing group for distal C(<i>sp<sup>2</sup></i>)-H functionalization <i>via</i> reversible imine formation. By overruling facile proximal C-H bond activation by imine-<i>N</i> atom, a suitably designed pyrimidine-based transient directing group (TDG) successfully delivered selective distal C-C bond formation. Application of this transient directing group strategy for streamlining the synthesis of complex organic molecules without any necessary pre-functionalization at the distal position has been explored.</p>

Transition metal-catalyzed selective C–H bond functionalization enabled by transient ligands has become an extremely attractive topic due to its economical and greener characteristics. However, catalytic pathways of this reaction process on unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> carbons of reactants have not been well studied yet. Herein, detailed mechanistic investigation on Pd-catalyzed C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond activation with amino acids as transient ligands has been systematically conducted. The theoretical calculations showed that higher angle distortion of C(sp2)-H bond over C(sp3)-H bond and stronger nucleophilicity of benzylic anion over its aromatic counterpart, leading to higher reactivity of corresponding C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds; the angle strain of the directing rings of key intermediates determines the site-selectivity of aliphatic ketone substrates; replacement of glycine with β-alanine as the transient ligand can decrease the angle tension of the directing rings. Synthetic experiments have confirmed that β-alanine is indeed a more efficient transient ligand for arylation of β-secondary carbons of linear aliphatic ketones than its glycine counterpart.<br><br>

The C–H functionalization has been extensively studied as a direct C–C bond forming reaction with high atomic efficiency. The efforts have also been made on the reaction using supported catalysts, which are superior in terms of catalyst separation from the reaction mixture and reusability. In this review, an overview of the C–H functionalization reactions, especially for Pd and Au supported catalysts will be described. In particular, we discuss reaction mechanisms, active species, leaching, reusability, etc. 1 Introduction 2 Types of supported metal catalysts and their active species 3 Modes of C–H bond activation 4 Oxidative C–H C–H coupling of aryl compounds 5 C–H C–H coupling where one side is aromatic 6 C–H acylation of aromatic compounds and related reactions 7 Conclusion

The title compound, N-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiazol-4-yl-3-trifluoromethylbenzamide (1) was synthesized by reacting 3-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (4) and 4-aminobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (5). The compound was characterized by various spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, GC-MS) and its composition confirmed by elemental analysis. The importance of this compound lies in its possession of an N,N-bidentate directing group. Such a structural motif is potentially suitable for metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions.
