Catalytic C-H activation is a powerful method for organic synthesis. In recent years, scientists have made great progress by developing transitional metals for catalyzing CH functionalization reaction. In this review, we summarized and highlighted recent progress in C-H activation with copper, cobalt, iron, manganese, and nickel as catalysts.
Keywords: C-H activation, multicomponent reactions, synthesis, catalyst, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron, manganese.
