Abstract
'Transient' C-H functionalization has emerged in recent years to describe the use of a dynamic linkage, often an imine, to direct cyclometallation and subsequent functionalization. As the field continues to grow in popularity, we consider the features that make an imine directing group transient. A transient imine should be i) formed dynamically in situ, ii) avoid discrete introduction or cleavage steps, and iii) offer the potential for catalysis in both the directing group and metal. This concept article contrasts transient imines with pioneering early studies of imines as directing groups for the formation of metallacycles and the use of preformed imines in C-H functionalization. Leading developments in the use of catalytic additives to form transient directing groups (as aldehyde or amine) are covered including selected highlights of the most recent examples of catalytic imine directed C-H functionalization with transition metals.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a common approach for palladium-catalyzed direct coupling of the ortho-C-H bond of aromatic aldehydes with various organoboronic reagents by a transient directing strategy. In contrast to widely used cross-coupling reactions of C-H bonds with aryl halides, which generally need silver salt as a halide removal reagent, the method which used BQ/TFA as weak oxidation system for the PdII/Pd0 redox cycle is cost-effective, ecofriendly, and more aligned with green catalysis. This broadly applicable method opens up a new and efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling route for the direct formation of carbon-carbon bonds by C-H bond activation.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed ortho-C(sp3)-H arylation of aromatic aldehydes using 2-amino-N-methyl-acetamide as a simple, efficient and commercially available L,L-type transient directing group (TDG) is reported. The reaction exhibited excellent substrate compatibility and generated the desired products in moderate-to-high yields up to 78%. Further acid-catalyzed cyclization and dehydrative aromatization were also tested, and furnished some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with excellent yields up to 96%. The X-ray crystal structure of a 2-methylbenzaldehyde ortho-C(sp3)-H palladation intermediate was obtained. Then, a plausible reaction mechanism involving the formation of a [5,6]-fused palladacycle was proposed. This approach offers valuable insights for exploiting novel L,L-type TDGs.

Abstract
The regiodivergent catalytic dehydrogenative cross-coupling reactions at both sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbons of aromatic compounds are particularly challenging. Herein, we report the finding of transient directing group controlled regiodivergent C(sp3)-C(sp2) and C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross-coupling in the o-methyl benzaldehyde frameworks. Catalyzed by palladium, using K2S2O8 or [F+] reagents as by-standing oxidants and unactivated arenes as substrates/solvents, various benzyl benzaldehydes or phenyl benzaldehydes were prepared. A mechanism study indicated that the regiospecificity is dominated by the [5,6]-fused palladacycle or [6,5]-fused palladacycle intermediates, which are generated from Pd-chelation with specified transient directing groups and further C-H activations.

Abstract
The direct functionalization of C-H bonds is among the most fundamental chemical transformations in organic synthesis. However, when the innate reactivity of the substrate cannot be utilized for the functionalization of a given single C-H bond, this selective C-H bond functionalization mostly relies on the use of directing groups that allow bringing the catalyst in close proximity to the C-H bond to be activated and these directing groups need to be installed before and cleaved after the transformation, which involves two additional undesired synthetic operations. These additional steps dramatically reduce the overall impact and the attractiveness of C-H bond functionalization techniques since classical approaches based on substrate pre-functionalization are sometimes still more straightforward and appealing. During the past decade, a different approach involving both the in situ installation and removal of the directing group, which can then often be used in a catalytic manner, has emerged: the transient directing group strategy. In addition to its innovative character, this strategy has brought C-H bond functionalization to an unprecedented level of usefulness and has enabled the development of remarkably efficient processes for the direct and selective introduction of functional groups onto both aromatic and aliphatic substrates. The processes unlocked by the development of these transient directing groups will be comprehensively overviewed in this review article.

Abstract
C-H activation is a 'simple-to-complex' transformation that nature has perfected over millions of years of evolution. Transition-metal-catalysed C-H activation has emerged as an expeditious means to expand the chemical space by introducing diverse functionalities. Notably, among the strategies to selectively cleave a particular C-H bond, the catalytic use of a small molecule as co-catalyst to generate a transient directing group, which provides a balance between step economy and chemical productivity, has gained immense attention in recent years. This allows one to convert a desired C-H bond irrespective of its geometrical or stereochemical configuration. This Review describes the various transient directing groups used in C-H activation and explains their mechanistic significance.

Abstract
The use of pre-installed directing groups has become a popular and powerful strategy to control site selectivity in transition metal catalysed C-H functionalisation reactions. However, the necessity for directing group installation and removal reduces the efficiency of a directed C-H functionalisation method. To overcome this limitation, taking inspiration from organocatalytic methodologies, the use of transient directing groups has arisen. These methods allow for a transient ligand to be used, potentially in catalytic quantities, without the need for discrete installation or removal steps, enabling the discovery of more efficient, and mechanistically intriguing, dual catalytic methods. This review summarises recent developments in this fast moving field covering >70 new methodologies, highlighting new directing group designs and advances in mechanistic understanding. It covers progress since 2018, providing an update to our previous review of the field.
