Transition-metal catalysed C-N bond activation

Chem Soc Rev. 2016 Mar 7;45(5):1257-72. doi: 10.1039/c5cs00534e.

Abstract

Transition-metal catalysed C-N bond activation has attracted much attention and become one of the most promising bond disconnection and formation strategies that encompass a broad spectrum of applications in many reactions. In this tutorial review, efficient strategies for catalytic cleavage of C(sp)-N, C(sp(2))-N and C(sp(3))-N bonds and their applications in new C-C and C-N bond formation reactions are summarized.
