2.4 C—H Functionalization Catalyzed by Cobalt(III)/Cp* and Related Complexes

Abstract

Cobalt(III) catalysts bearing a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand are widely used for directing-group-assisted C—H functionalization reactions to form C—C and C—heteroatom bonds. This review describes representative examples of such cobalt(III)-catalyzed C—H functionalization reactions, including C(sp2) —H and C(sp3) —H functionalization, as well as enantioselective C—H functionalization.

Key words

cobalt catalysis - C—H activation - alkylation - allylation - alkenylation - amidation - halogenation - asymmetric catalysis
