Selectivity and reactivity in C-H activation

This lecture describes factors controlling the selectivity and reactivity in C-H activations. Covered topics are: the main issues in C-H activation; reactivity of saturated and unsaturated compounds in C-H activations; selectivity of C-H activation in saturated and unsaturated compounds; computational prediction of the reactivity and selectivity in C-H activations; the role of directing groups in C-H activation; overcoming the problems related to reactivity and selectivity; scope of C-C bond forming reactions by C-H activation; scope of C-heteroatom bond forming reactions by C-H activation; scope of reagents used for C-H arylation; scope of reagents used for C-H alkylation; scope of reagents used for C-H trifluoromethylation; scope of reagents used for C-H carboxylation; scope of reagents used for C-H amination. The cover picture is adapted from the stock image library of Office 365.
