Natural Product Synthesis by C−H Activation

Abstract The widespread use of transition‐metal‐mediated C−H bond activation has altered the field of organic synthesis. Notwithstanding the immense effect this strategy has had on classical organic reactions, the applications of this methodology extend further to the synthesis of natural products and drug molecules. Herein, imaginative and innovative studies on the synthesis of natural products using C−H functionalization methodologies are discussed, showing the importance of this application in the field of organic synthesis.
