Non-Cyclizing Direct Transformation of Arene Carbon--Hydrogen Bonds into Carbon--Nitrogen Bonds.

This review covers advances in the non-cyclizing direct transformations of arene carbon--hydrogen bonds into carbon--nitrogen bonds, including carbon--nitrogen bond formations for arenes bearing directing groups, for polyfluoroarenes, and for alkyl-substituted arenes. Copper catalysis, palladium catalysis and metal-free strategies for carbon--nitrogen bond formation are discussed. 1 Introduction 2 Carbon--Nitrogen Bond Formation for Arenes Bearing Directing Groups 3 Carbon--Nitrogen Bond Formation for Polyfluoroarenes 4 Carbon--Nitrogen Bond Formation for Alkyl-Substituted Arenes 5 Conclusion [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
