Benzylic Functionalization

Benzylic Functionalization is a chemical transformation that selectively modifies hydrogen atoms at the benzylic position of an aromatic hydrocarbon through C–H bond activation, distinguished by its preference for the carbon adjacent to the aromatic ring in late-stage synthetic strategies.
