Abstract

The use of internal oxidants, embedded in the directing group, in C H activation reactions can lead to higher levels of selectivity and reactivity under milder conditions (see examples). An internal oxidant can be defined as a covalent bond within one of the coupling substrates which oxidizes the metal catalyst. This should open up new avenues in the field of C H activation.
