Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Dehydrogenative Functionalization of C(sp2)H Bonds

Abstract The catalytic cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has received intense attention in recent years. The attractive feature of this coupling process is the formation of a CC bond from two CH moieties under oxidative conditions. In this Focus Review, recent advances in the palladium‐catalyzed CDC reactions of C(sp 2 )H bond are summarized, with a focus on the period from 2011 to early 2013.
