Recent Advances in Chromium-Catalyzed Organic Transformations.

The use of simple and low-cost chromium chloride salts as catalysts or precatalysts for the development of cost-effective methods is of significant synthetic and mechanistic interest. Here, recent advances in chromium-catalyzed organic transformations are highlighted. 1 Introduction 2 Arylmagnesiation of Alkynes 3 Catalytic Functionalization of C(aryl)–O Bonds 4 Catalytic Functionalization of C(aryl)–N Bonds 5 Catalytic Functionalization of C(aryl)–H Bonds 6 NHK-Type Reactions 7 Hydrogenation 8 Conclusions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
