Recent progress in rare-earth metal-catalyzed sp² and sp³ C–H functionalization to construct C–C and C–heteroelement bonds

Abstract

The review presents rare-earth metal-catalyzed C(sp 2 /sp 3 )–H functionalization accessing C–C/C–heteroatom bonds and olefin (co)polymerization, highlighting substrate scope, mechanistic realization, and origin of site-, enantio-/diastereo-selectivity.
