Abstract
The development of new catalytic reactions for C-C bond formation has played a significant role in natural products synthesis. In this article we review catalytic C-C bond formation with respect to the carbon atoms hybridization and the products formed. The reactions of unusual substrates and the development of new reaction conditions and catalyst systems are included. This survey highlights the use of catalysts in natural products synthesis during the years 2000-2005.

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
