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.
