Nucleophilic C—H functionalization of arenes: a contribution to green chemistry

  • Review
  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The review is focused on premises, features and scope of the reactions leading to the direct functionalization of the C—H bond in arenes by the action of nucleophiles. Practical importance and a contribution of synthetic approaches with minimal steps, the so called PASE- (pot-, atom-, and step-economic) processes, to green chemistry are also discussed.
