Abstract
An overview of the use of Zinc bromide (ZnBr2) in organic synthesis and other applications is presented. Some details on the structure of the inorganic material and its ligated adducts is also detailed. This aspect is presented in a context that attempts to relate the observed coordination chemistry with the activity of the title compound in Lewis acidmediated processes.
Keywords: Zinc (II) bromide, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Lewis acid reactions, Diels-Alder reaction, phosphonium, Bohlmann-Rahtz heteroannulation reaction

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
