The catalytic activation of a C-H bond is a fundamentally important organic transformation. There are now numerous reports of palladium-mediated C-H activation by the through-space interaction of a palladium center with a neighboring C-H bond. This type of C-H activation

Rhodium is used for a number of large processes that rely on homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed reactions, for instance rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes, carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid and hydrodesulfurization of thiophene derivatives (in crude oil). Many laboratory applications in organometallic

A review is presented of synthetic methods for the preparation of biaryls by the rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond arylation of arenes with aryl halides (C-H/ C-X couplings), arylmetal reagents (C-H/C-M couplings) and arenes (C-H/C-H couplings), with an emphasis on postulated mechanisms

This tutorial review presents a description of the controlling elements of intermolecular C-H functionalization by means of C-H insertion by donor/acceptor rhodium carbenes. These rhodium carbenes, readily derived from the combination of diazo compounds with dirhodium(ii) catalysts, are sufficiently reactive
Chemical Society reviews, 36(7), 1109-1119 (2007-06-20)
This tutorial review describes the reactions of the electron-rich heterocycles pyrrole, furan, indole and benzofuran with copper and rhodium carbenoids. Two main reaction pathways are possible, involving either a concerted non-synchronous cyclopropanation or zwitterionic intermediates. A diverse range of products
