Abstract
Rhodium complexes have found a wide application in the catalytic C-C bond activation of various substrates depending on the ligand environment. The reaction proceeds with strained carbocycles (cyclopropanes, cyclobutanes and their derivatives), with non-strained C-C bonds activated by carbonyl or other functionalities, or it can result in decarbonylation (aldehydes, acyl halides etc.). Rhodium catalyzed C-C bond cleavage reactions were also used as key steps in syntheses of several natural compounds or biologically active molecules.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
