C-H Bond Functionalization and Synthesis in the 21st Century: A Brief History and Prospectus
M. C. White
​
Among the frontier challenges facing synthetic chemistry in the 21st century are the interconnected goals of increasing control of chemical reactivity and synthesizing complex molecules with higher levels of efficiency. Catalytic C-H bond functionalization reactions are increasingly being discovered that meet the criterion for useful reactivity (i.e. preparative, predictably selective, and general). Consequently, such reactions are enabling chemists to exploit strategies for complex molecule synthesis and derivatization previously accessible only in nature. This perspective highlights some of the achievements and important challenges that remain in the area of C-H bond functionalization.

Adding Aliphatic C-H Bond Oxidations to Synthesis
M. C. White
​
Oxidations of aliphatic C-H bonds (unactivated, isolated, alkyl sp3 C-H bonds) have appeared in the literature sporadically since the late 1800s. However, synthetic chemists considered these transformations to be too unselective and/or inefficient for routine utilization in synthesis. This view has changed dramatically during the past several years. Specifically, it is now widely accepted that predictable selectivity and preparative utility for aliphatic C-H oxidations is possible with small molecule catalysts. This perspective explains how we arrived at this point.
