Abstract
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPAs) are components of a wide variety of plant-derived materials and foodstuffs and their well-known biological activities, especially with respect to their significance in human health, have generated a great deal of interest in the scientific community. This review summarizes synthetic approaches to OPAs.

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
