Abstract
The truxillates constitute a large class of dimeric natural products featuring a central, highly substituted cyclobutane core. In principle, these structures could be efficiently synthesized via [2 + 2] photocycloaddition. However, the difficulty in controlling the high-energy electronically excited reactive intermediates in the solution state can lead to poor regio- and diastereocontrol. This has limited the use of photocycloaddition methodology toward the synthesis of this important class of natural products. Herein, we demonstrate that acid-controlled precipitation of C-acyl imidazoles promotes a highly selective solid-state photocycloaddition, and the products of this reaction can be quickly transformed into truxillate natural products.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed, strain-release-driven transformations of "spring-loaded" bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are considered potent tools in synthetic organic chemistry. Previously proposed strain-release mechanisms involve either the insertion of the central C-C bond of BCBs into a metal-carbon bond, followed by β-C elimination, or the oxidative addition of the central or lateral C-C bond on the transition metal center, followed by reductive elimination. This study, employing DFT calculations on a Rh(III)-catalyzed model system in a three-component protocol involving oxime ether, BCB ester, and ethyl glyoxylate for constructing diastereoselective quaternary carbon centers, introduces an unusual strain-release mechanism for BCBs. In this mechanism, the catalytic reaction is initiated by the simultaneous cleavage of two C-C bonds (the central and lateral C-C bonds), resulting in the formation of a Rh-carbene intermediate. The new mechanism exhibits a barrier of 21.0 kcal/mol, making it energetically more favorable by 11.1 kcal/mol compared to the previously suggested most favorable pathway. This unusual reaction mode rationalizes experimental observation of the construction of quaternary carbon centers, including the excellent E-selectivity and diastereoselectivity. The newly proposed strain-release mechanism holds promise in advancing our understanding of transition-metal-catalyzed C-C bond activation mechanisms and facilitating the synthesis of transition metal carbene complexes.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) have gained growing popularity in "strain release" chemistry for the synthesis of four-membered-ring systems and para- and meta-disubstituted arene bioisosteres as well as applications in chemoselective bioconjugation. However, functionalization of the bridge position of BCBs can be challenging due to the inherent strain of the ring system and reactivity of the central C-C bond. Here we report the first late-stage bridge cross-coupling of BCBs, mediated by directed metalation/palladium catalysis.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs), strained carbocycles comprising two fused cyclopropane rings, have become well-established building blocks in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology due to their diverse reactivity profile with radicals, nucleophiles, cations, and carbenes. The constraints of the bicyclic ring system confer high p-character on the interbridgehead C-C bond, leading to this broad reaction profile; however, the use of BCBs in pericyclic processes has to date been largely overlooked in favor of such stepwise, non-concerted additions. Here, we describe the use of BCBs as substrates for ene-like reactions with strained alkenes and alkynes, which give rise to cyclobutenes decorated with highly substituted cyclopropanes and arenes. The former products are obtained from highly stereoselective reactions with cyclopropenes, generated in situ from vinyl diazoacetates under blue light irradiation (440 nm). Cyclobutenes featuring a quaternary aryl-bearing carbon atom are prepared from equivalent reactions with arynes, which proceed in high yields under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies highlight the importance of electronic effects in this chemistry, while computational investigations support a concerted pathway and rationalize the excellent stereoselectivity of reactions with cyclopropenes.

Abstract
Although ring-opening reactions of bicyclobutanes bearing electron-withdrawing groups, typically with β-selectivity, have evolved as a powerful platform for synthesis of cyclobutanes, their application in the synthesis of cyclobutenes remains underdeveloped. Here, a novel visible light induced α-selective radical ring-opening reaction of 1,3-disubstituted acyl bicyclobutanes with alkyl radical precursors for the synthesis of functionalized cyclobutenes is described. In particular, primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides are all suitable substrates for this photocatalytic transformation, providing ready access to cyclobutenes with a single all-carbon quaternary center, or with two contiguous centers under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the advent of C-H activation has led to a rethink among chemists about the synthetic strategies employed for multi-step transformations. Indeed, deploying innovative and masterful tricks against the numerous classical organic transformations has been the need of the hour. Despite this, the immense importance of C-H activation remains unfulfilled unless the methodology can be deployed for large-scale industrial processes and towards the concise, step-economic synthesis of prodigious natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Lately, the growing potential of C-H activation methodology has indeed driven the pioneers of synthetic organic chemists into finding more efficient methods to accelerate the synthesis of such complex molecular scaffolds. This review aims to draw a general overview of the various C-H activation procedures that have been adopted for synthesizing these vast majority of structurally complicated natural products. Our objective lies in drawing a complete picture and taking the readers through the synthesis of a series of such complex organic compounds by simplified techniques, making it step-economic on a larger scale and thus instigating the readers to trigger the use of such methodology and uncover new, unique patterns for future synthesis of such natural products.

Abstract
Ring-opening of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) is emerging as a powerful strategy for 1,3-difunctionalized cyclobutane synthesis. However, reported radical strain-release reactions are typically plagued with diastereoselectivity issues. Herein, an atom-economic protocol for the highly chemo- and diastereoselective polar strain-release ring-opening of BCBs with hydroxyarenes catalyzed by a π-acid catalyst AgBF4 has been developed. The use of readily available starting materials, low catalyst loading, high selectivity (up to >98 : 2 d.r.), a broad substrate scope, ease of scale-up, and versatile functionalizations of the cyclobutane products make this approach very attractive for the synthesis of 1,1,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes. Moreover, control experiments and theoretical calculations were performed to illustrate the reaction mechanism and selectivity.

Abstract
Pseudodimeric cyclobutanes constitute a large class of natural products that could, in principle, be efficiently synthesized via [2+2] photocycloadditions. However, the difficulty in developing chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective cycloadditions has limited their use in asymmetric syntheses. Herein, we show that chiral acid catalysts promote highly selective visible-light photocycloadditions, the products of which can be quickly transformed into truxinate natural products. This general approach has enabled the synthesis of both dimeric and pseudodimeric cyclobutane natural products with excellent enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Bicyclobutanes are among the most highly strained isolable organic compounds and their associated low activation barriers to reactivity make them intriguing building-blocks in organic chemistry. In recent years, numerous creative synthetic strategies exploiting their heightened reactivity have been presented and these discoveries have often gone hand-in-hand with the development of more practical routes for their synthesis. Their proclivity as strain-release reagents through their weak central C-C bond has been harnessed in a variety of addition, rearrangement and insertion reactions, providing rapid access to a rich tapestry of complex molecular scaffolds. This review will provide an overview of the different options available for bicyclobutane synthesis, the main classes of compounds that can be prepared from bicyclobutanes, and the associated modes of reactivity used.

Abstract
The unique chemistry of small, strained carbocyclic systems has long captivated organic chemists from a theoretical and fundamental standpoint. A resurgence of interest in strained carbocyclic species has been prompted by their potential as bioisosteres, high fraction of sp3 carbons, and limited appearance in the patent literature. Among strained ring systems, bicyclo[1.1.0]butane (BCB) stands apart as the smallest bicyclic carbocycle and is amongst the most strained carbocycles known. Despite the fact that BCBs have been synthesized and studied for well over 50 years, they have long been regarded as laboratory curiosities. However, new approaches for preparing, functionalizing, and using BCBs in "strain-release" transformations have positioned BCBs to be powerful synthetic workhorses. Further, the olefinic character of the bridgehead bond enables BCBs to be elaborated into various other ring systems and function as covalent warheads for bioconjugation. This review will discuss the recent developments in the synthesis and functionalization of BCBs as well as the applications of these strained rings in synthesis and drug discovery. An overview of the properties and the historical context of this interesting structure will be provided.

Abstract
A strategy for the photosensitized cycloaddition of alkenylboronates and allylic alcohols by a temporary coordination is presented. The process allows for the synthesis of a diverse range of cyclobutylboronates. Key to development of these reactions is the temporary coordination of the allylic alcohol to the Bpin unit. This not only allows for the reaction to proceed in an intramolecular manner but also allows for high levels of stereo and regiocontrol. A key aspect of these studies is the utility of the cycloadducts in the synthesis of complex natural products artochamin J and piperarborenine B.

Abstract
A concise synthesis of piperarborenine B is reported. Organocatalytic electrophilic amination of pyrrolidines, stereospecific oxidative ring contraction and an original diastereoselective Krapcho dealkoxycarbonylation/transmethylation contribute to a novel synthetic strategy to the preparation of a non-symmetrical cyclobutane core. Being transition-metal-free, directing-group-free and protecting-group-free, a five-step synthesis of piperarborenine B was accomplished.

Abstract
Solid-state photochemical reactions of olefinic compounds have been demonstrated to represent powerful access to organic cyclic molecules with specific configurations. However, the precise control of the stereochemistry in these reactions remains challenging owing to complex and fleeting configuration transformations. Herein, we report a unique approach to control the regiospecific configurations of C = C groups and the intermediates by varying temperatures in multiple-step thermal/photoinduced reactions, thus successfully realizing reversible ring closing/opening changes using a single-crystal coordination polymer platform. All stereochemical transitions are observed by in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations allow us to rationalize the mechanism of the synergistic thermal/photoinduced transformations. This approach can be generalized to the analysis of the possible configuration transformations of functional groups and intermediates and unravel the detailed mechanism for any inorganic, organic and macromolecular reactions susceptible to incorporation into single-crystal coordination polymer platforms. Solid-state photochemical reactions of olefinic compounds provide access to organic cyclic molecules with specific configurations but the precise control of the stereochemistry in these reactions remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate control of the regiospecific configurations of C=C groups and the intermediates by varying temperatures in multi-step thermal and photoinduced ring opening and closing reactions using a single-crystal coordination polymer platform.

Abstract
Hammett correlation experiments were used to determine the influence of dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with tethered, axially coordinated ligands (TACLs) on the selectivity of rhodium carbenoids in competitive cyclopropanation reactions. The results suggest that dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with TACLs are less sensitive to changes in electronics and reduce selectivity in cyclopropanation reactions with acceptor-substituted rhodium carbenoids. Also, Hammett plots with aryl diazoacetates resulted in a nonlinear downward curvature, suggesting a change in the rate-limiting step of the carbene transfer reaction.

We report the first example of selective PdII -catalyzed tertiary C-H activation of cyclobutylmethyl ketones using a transient directing group. An electron-deficient 2-pyridone ligand was identified as the optimal external ligand to enable tertiary C-H activation. A variety of cyclobutylmethyl ketones bearing quaternary carbon centers was readily accessed without preinstalling internal directing groups in up to 81 % yield and >95 : 5 regioisomeric ratios of tertiary C-H arylation to β-methylene (β-methyl) or γ-C-H arylation.

Abstract
![]()
A heteroleptic dirhodium
paddlewheel complex comprising three chiral
carboxylate ligands and one achiral acetamidate ligand has recently
been found to be uniquely effective in catalyzing the asymmetric cyclopropanation
of olefins with α-stannylated (silylated and germylated) α-diazoacetate
derivatives. A number of control experiments in combination with detailed
computational studies provide compelling evidence that an interligand
hydrogen bond between the −NH group of the amidate and the
ester carbonyl group of the reactive rhodium carbene intermediate
plays a quintessential role in the stereodetermining transition state.
The penalty for distorting this array outweighs steric arguments and
renders two of the four conceivable transitions states unviable. Based
on this mechanistic insight, the design of the parent catalyst is
revisited herein: placement of appropriate peripheral substituents
allows high levels of diastereocontrol to be imposed upon cyclopropanation,
which the original catalyst lacks. Because the new complexes allow
either trans- or cis-configured stannylated cyclopropanes to be made
selectively and in excellent optical purity, this transformation also
marks a rare case of diastereodivergent asymmetric catalysis. The
products are amenable to stereospecific cross coupling with aryl halides
or alkenyl triflates; these transformations appear to be the first
examples of the formation of stereogenic quaternary carbon centers
by the Stille reaction; carbonylative coupling is also achieved. Moreover,
tin/lithium exchange affords chiral lithium enolates, which can be
intercepted with a variety of electrophilic partners. The virtues
and inherent flexibility of this new methodology are illustrated by
an efficient synthesis of two salinilactones, extremely scarce bacterial
metabolites with signaling function involved in the self-regulatory
growth inhibition of the producing strain.

Abstract
Sulfone-substituted bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and housanes have found widespread application in organic synthesis due to their bench stability and high reactivity in strain-releasing processes in the presence of nucleophiles or radical species. Despite their increasing utility, their preparation typically requires multiple steps in low overall yield. In this work, we report an expedient and general one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1-sulfonylbicyclo[1.1.0]butanes from readily available methyl sulfones and inexpensive epichlorohydrin via the dialkylmagnesium-mediated formation of 3-sulfonylcyclobutanol intermediates. Furthermore, the process was extended to the formation of 1-sulfonylbicyclo[2.1.0]pentane (housane) analogues when 4-chloro-1,2-epoxybutane was used as the electrophile instead of epichlorohydrin. Both procedures could be applied on a gram scale with similar efficiency and are shown to be fully stereospecific in the case of housanes when an enantiopure epoxide was employed, leading to a streamlined access to highly valuable optically active strain-release reagents.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are valuable substrates in the "strain release" synthesis of polysubstituted four-membered ring systems, with applications including bioconjugation agents. The introduction of substituents onto the BCB bridges is challenging due to limitations in current methods for the preparation of this bicyclic scaffold, typically necessitating linear syntheses with limited functional group tolerance and/or substituent scope. Here, we report the synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted BCBs via directed metalation of readily accessed BCB amides; this straightforward "late stage" approach generates a wide variety of bridge-substituted BCBs that can be easily converted into other useful small ring building blocks. Access to a monodeuterated BCB afforded unprecedented insight into the mechanism of dihalocarbene insertion into BCBs to afford bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs).

Abstract
Small ring compounds are fascinating molecules and have been used as valuable compounds in organic synthesis. In this study, a carborane-fused four-membered boracycle bearing an electron precise B-B bond, 1,2-[BBrSMe2]2-o-C2B10H10, was synthesized via the reaction of 1,2-Li2-o-carborane with B2Br4(SMe2)2. This novel boracycle can be used as a "strain-release" compound to achieve diboration of alkenes and alkynes, leading to the generation of ring-expansion products. Interestingly, when bis(trimethylsilyl) acetylene was employed, an allene-functionalized six-membered boracycle was obtained. Moreover, DFT calculations were conducted to shed light on the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
This review highlights the applications of dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with a heteroleptic scaffold. Dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes are well known as highly efficient and selective carbene transfer catalysts. While the majority of described complexes are homoleptic, comparatively fewer studies have concerned heteroleptic complexes. Here, we emphasise the use of heteroleptic complexes in order to highlight their benefits as carbene transfer catalysts and spur future research. Methods to synthesise heteroleptic dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes are discussed as well as a categorical review of their types of heteroleptic complexes and the carbene reactions in which they have been used.

Abstract
The irradiation of (Z)-2-phenyl-4-aryliden-5(4H)-thiazolones 2 with blue light (465 nm) in CH2Cl2 solution promotes [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition of the exocyclic C═C bonds and the formation of the dispirocyclobutanes 3. This reaction takes place with high stereoselectivity, given that the ε-isomer (1,3 head-to-tail syn coupling) is formed in more than 90% yield in most of the cases. However, irradiation of 5(4H)-thiazolones 2 with blue light (456 nm) in dry MeOH in the presence of BF3·OEt2 leads to the monospirocyclobutanes 4 with full stereoselectivity, also affording the ε-isomer. A ring-opening reaction of only one of the thiazolone rings appears to have taken place in 4 upon methanolysis, leading to the corresponding ester and thioamide groups. The treatment of free 4-aryliden-5(4H)-thiazolones 2 with a base in alcohol (NaOR/ROH) also produces a ring-opening reaction of the heterocycle by methanolysis, although, under these reaction conditions, further intramolecular S-attack at the exocyclic C(H)═C bond and cyclization is observed, forming the dihydrothiazoles 5 or 6 as mixtures of cis (RS/SR)- and trans (RR/SS)-isomers with high diastereomeric excess. trans-(RR/SS)-Dihydrothiazoles 6 can be isolated as pure diastereoisomers by column chromatography. Surprisingly, dihydrothiazoles 5 can also be obtained by the treatment of 4-aryliden-5(4H)-thiazolones 2 with BF3·OEt2 in methanol in the absence of a base.

Abstract
The design of synthetic routes by retrosynthetic logic is decisively influenced by the transformations available. Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation has emerged as a powerful strategy for C-C bond formation, with myriad methods developed for diverse substrates and coupling partners. However, its uptake in total synthesis has been tepid, partially due to their apparent synthetic intractability, as well as a lack of comprehensive guidelines for implementation. This Review addresses these issues and offers a guide to identify retrosynthetic opportunities to generate C-C bonds by C-H activation processes. By comparing total syntheses accomplished using traditional approaches and recent C-H activation methods, this Review demonstrates how C-H activation enabled C-C bond construction has led to more efficient retrosynthetic strategies, as well as the execution of previously unattainable tactical maneuvers. Finally, shortcomings of existing processes are highlighted; this Review illustrates how some highlighted total syntheses can be further economized by adopting next-generation ligand-enabled approaches.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the formation of quaternary carbon centers with excellent diastereoselectivity via a strain-release protocol. An organometallic species is generated by Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation, which is then coupled with strained bicyclobutanes (BCBs) and a prochiral carbon electrophile in a three-component reaction. This work illustrates a rare example of BCBs in transition metal catalysis and demonstrates their broad potential to access novel reaction pathways. The method developed exhibits ample functional group tolerance, and the products can be further transformed into valuable α-quaternary β-lactones. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a twofold C-C bond cleavage sequence involving σ-bond insertion and an ensuing β-carbon elimination event.

Abstract
Natural products are the most effective source of potential drug leads. The total
synthesis of bioactive natural products plays a crucial role in confirming the hypothetical
complex structure of natural products in the laboratory. The total synthesis of rare bioactive
natural products is one of the great challenges for the organic synthetic community due to
their complex structures, biochemical specificity, and difficult stereochemistry. Subsequently,
the total synthesis is a long process in several cases, and it requires a substantial amount of
time. Microwave irradiation has emerged as a greener tool in organic methodologies to reduce
reaction time from days and hours to minutes and seconds. Moreover, this non-classical
methodology increases product yields and purities, improves reproducibility, modifications of
selectivity, simplification of work-up methods, and reduces unwanted side reactions. Such
beneficial qualities have stimulated this review to cover the application of microwave irradiation in the field of the
total synthesis of bioactive natural products for the first time during the last decade. An overview of the use of microwave
irradiation, natural sources, structures, and biological activities of secondary metabolites is presented elegantly,
focusing on the involvement of at least one or more steps by microwave irradiation as a green technique.

Abstract
Piper, Capsicum, and Pimenta are the main genera of peppers consumed worldwide. The traditional use of peppers by either ancient civilizations or modern societies has raised interest in their biological applications, including cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects. Cellular responses upon treatment with isolated pepper-derived compounds involve mechanisms of cell death, especially through proapoptotic stimuli in tumorigenic cells. In this review, we highlight naturally occurring secondary metabolites of peppers with cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines. Available mechanisms of cell death, as well as the development of analogues, are also discussed.

Abstract
All-syn fused cyclobutanes remain an elusive chemotype and thus present an interesting synthetic challenge. Herein, we report the successful application of Pd-catalysed C(sp3)-H arylation of cyclobutane compounds to generate all-syn heterobicyclic fragments using an innovative 'inside-out' approach. Through this strategy we generate a virtual collection of 90 fragments, which we demonstrate to have enhanced three-dimensionality and superior fragment-like properties compared to existing collections.

Abstract
The use of chiral transient directing groups (TDGs) is a promising approach for developing PdII -catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3 )-H activation reactions. However, this strategy is challenging because the stereogenic center on the TDG is often far from the C-H bond, and both TDG covalently attached to the substrate and free TDG are capable of coordinating to PdII centers, which can result in a mixture of reactive complexes. We report a PdII -catalyzed enantioselective β-C(sp3 )-H arylation reaction of aliphatic ketones using a chiral TDG. A chiral trisubstituted cyclobutane was efficiently synthesized from a mono-substituted cyclobutane through sequential C-H arylation reactions, thus demonstrating the utility of this method for accessing structurally complex products from simple starting materials. The use of an electron-deficient pyridone ligand is crucial for the observed enantioselectivity. Interestingly, employing different silver salts can reverse the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel catalyst 7 with a chiral carboxylate/acetamidate ligand sphere is uniquely effective in asymmetric [2+1] cycloadditions with α‐diazo‐α‐trimethylstannyl (silyl, germyl) acetate. Originally discovered as a trace impurity in a sample of the homoleptic parent complex [Rh2((R)‐TPCP)4] (5), it is shown that the protic acetamidate ligand is quintessential for rendering 7 highly enantioselective. The ‐NH group is thought to lock the ensuing metal carbene in place via interligand hydrogen bonding. The resulting stannylated cyclopropanes undergo “stereoretentive” cross coupling, which shows for the first time that even chiral quarternary carbon centers can be made by the Stille–Migita reaction.

Abstract
AbstractBicyclo[1.1.0]- and 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes are structurally unique compounds that exhibit diverse chemistry. Bicyclo[1.1.0]butane is a four-membered carbocycle with a bridging C(1)-C(3) bond and 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane is an analog of bicyclo[1.1.0]butane featuring a nitrogen atom at one bridgehead. These structures are highly strained, allowing them to participate in a range of strain-releasing reactions which typically cleave the central, strained bond to deliver cyclobutanes or azetidines. However, despite these molecules being discovered in the 1950s and 1960s, and possessing a myriad of alluring chemical features, the chemistry and applications of bicyclo[1.1.0]- and 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butanes remain underexplored. In the past 5 years, there has been a resurgent interest in their chemistry driven by the pharmaceutical industry’s increasing desire for new methods to access cyclobutanes and azetidines. This short review intends to provide a timely summary of the most recent developments in the chemistry of bicyclo[1.1.0]- and 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane to highlight the diverse chemistry they can access, their value as synthetic precursors to cyclobutanes and azetidines, and to identify areas for future research.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) are highly strained carbocycles that have emerged as versatile synthetic tools, particularly for the construction of functionalized small molecules. This work reports two efficient pathways for the rapid preparation of over 20 structurally diverse BCB ketones, encompassing simple alkyl and aryl derivatives, as well as unprecedented amino acid, dipeptide, bioisostere, and bifunctional linchpin reagents currently inaccessible using literature methods. Analogues are readily forged in two steps and in high yields from simple carboxylic acids or through unsymmetrical ketone synthesis beginning with a convenient carbonyl dication equivalent. The utility of this novel toolbox of strained electrophiles for the selective modification of proteinogenic nucleophiles is highlighted.

Abstract
During the past decades, synthetic organic chemistry discovered that directing group assisted C-H activation is a key tool for the expedient and siteselective construction of C-C bonds. Among the various directing group strategies, bidentate directing groups are now recognized as one of the most efficient devices for the selective functionalization of certain positions due to fact that its metal center permits fine, tunable, and reversible coordination. The family of bidentate directing groups permit various types of assistance to be achieved, such as N,N-dentate, N,O-dentate, and N,S-dentate auxiliaries, which are categorized based on the coordination site. In this review, we broadly discuss various C-H bond functionalization reactions for the formation of C-C bonds with the aid of bidentate directing groups.
