C-H functionalization is a research area within organic chemistry that focuses on the selective activation of C-H bonds in organic molecules and their subsequent functionalization to form new carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. This area of research has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to streamline the synthesis of complex molecules by avoiding the need for pre-functionalized starting materials. Key goals of C-H functionalization research include improving the selectivity and efficiency of C-H activation reactions, developing new catalytic systems, and expanding the scope of substrates that can undergo C-H functionalization. This research area has the potential to revolutionize the way synthetic chemists design and execute their synthetic routes.
