Abstract

Directed metallation of organic molecules is an important tool for the C-C bond activation since this strategy solves the accessibility problem occurring between a metal and a C-C bond that is to be cleaved. Stability of the five-membered metallacyclic complexes derived from the coordinating substrate and transition metal complexes are a driving force for undergoing the C-C bond activation. In this reaction, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus are the most commonly used heteroatoms for directing functionality. Depending on the heteroatom in the substrate, different types of C-C bond activations can be observed.
