Progress and prospects in copper-catalyzed C–H functionalization

Abstract

Copper-catalyzed C–H functionalization is becoming a significant area in organic chemistry. Copper is now widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis as it is inexpensive and not very toxic. Functionalization of C–H bonds to construct wide varieties of organic compounds has received much attention in recent times. This review focuses on the recent advances in Cu-catalyzed C–H functionalization and covers literature from 2018–2020.
