C-H activation involves any of a wide range of techniques, often using catalysts in which a carbon to hydrogen covalent bond of an organic compound is cleaved to replace the hydrogen with a functional group. C-H Activation for functionalization is the state of the art in organic chemistry. It enables chemists to carry out reactions in the most environmentally friendly fashion with the least contamination of by-products. Written by an author experienced in this rapidly developing the field, this book covers C-H activation by a variety of catalysts.
