Recent topics in application of selective Rh(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization toward natural product synthesis

Direct C-H bond functionalization reactions promise to be among the most efficient methods for the synthesis of organic molecules. This review focuses on recent syntheses of natural products via chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective Rh-catalyzed C-H insertion reactions. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
