Article Abstract
The search for selective C-H functionalisation has enabled some of the most elegant techniques in modern catalysis. Herein, we review the rapidly expanding field of ruthenium catalysed σ-activation as a tool in the selective meta-C-H functionalisation of arenes.

In recent years, the catalytic activity of scandium triflate Sc(OTf) has attracted significant attention due to its robust Lewis acidity and the oxophilicity of Sc. These features have led to impressive progress in developing diverse organic reactions, including C-C bond formation. The Sc also facilitates single electron transfer in photoinduced reactions either by coordination to an organophotoredox catalyst, which modifies its redox reactivity, or by the formation of a scandium-superoxide anion complex after electron transfer from a light-absorbing redox-active compound.

Transition-metal-catalysed direct C-H functionalisation has emerged as one of the most efficient molecular transformations, offering excellent atom and step economy. This methodology eliminates the need for pre-functionalisation of substrates, enabling the direct use of readily available starting materials, such as alkenes, to access valuable compounds. In particular, enantioselective variants of these reactions have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their utility in constructing complex molecules.

The C2-amination of benzoxazole offers wide-ranging potential for substrate expansion and the functionalisation of bioactive compounds. This study presents a green and efficient C-H amination, catalysed by CuCl and CuCl, in acetonitrile without acidic, basic or oxidant additives that is accelerated by microwave (MW) irradiation and is completed in 1.5-2 h.

The direct C-H functionalisation of [2.2]paracyclophane (PCP) by forging diverse C-C bonds is appealing, yet has remained underexplored. Herein, we describe a copper-catalysed non-directed C-H arylation and alkenylation of PCP with various iodonium salts.
