The Remote Activation of Chemical Bonds via Metal Coordination

The activation of chemical bonds to cleavage by mild metal nucleophiles can be achieved by precoordination of a transition metal fragment to a site remote from the bond in question. The following bonds have been activated in this manner by η6‐coordination to an internal arene ring: CC in biphenylen...

Description
Summary:The activation of chemical bonds to cleavage by mild metal nucleophiles can be achieved by precoordination of a transition metal fragment to a site remote from the bond in question. The following bonds have been activated in this manner by η6‐coordination to an internal arene ring: CC in biphenylene, CS in benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene, CSe in benzoselenophene, CO in benzofuran, and NH in indole.
