Isothiazoles Isoxazole chemistry, recent developments

The recent developments on the metallation chemistry of oxazoles and benzoxazoles, isoxazoles and benzisoxazoles, pyrazoles and indazoles, thiazoles and benzo-thiazoles, and isothiazoles, benzo[c]isothiazoles, and benzoMisothiazoles have been reviewed. The two-decade history of catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation via direct borylation of alkane C-H bonds catalysed by transition metal complexes has been reported. The alkane functionalization via electrophilic activation has been underlined. " Recent advances of transition-metal-catalysed addition reactions of C-H bonds to polar C-X (X=N, O) multiple bonds have been highlighted and their mechanisms have been discussed. The development and applications of the transition metal-catalysed coupling reactions have been also reviewed. - ...
