Abstract
A plethora of bioactive compounds and natural products bears an azole subunit within their complex structural frameworks. A footstep to realize those complex structures in atom economic fashion rely on the direct functionalization of C–H bonds adjacent to an azole group. In addition, the resulting functionalized azole compounds can be simply modified into practically significant genre of α-functionalized carboxylic acids that are otherwise inaccessible through a formal α-functionalization strategy. In this Account, we describe an up-to-date progress on the functionalization of a methyl and/or methylene group(s) adjacent to an azole ring enabled by late and earth-abundant transition metals. Contributions made by our group and that by others in the field are elaborated in this Account article.
