Cobalt-Catalyzed C–H Activation

Catalytic C–H activation has emerged as a powerful tool for sustainable syntheses. In the recent years, notable success was achieved with the development of cobalt-catalyzed C–H functionalizations with either in situ generated or single-component cobalt-complexes under mild reaction conditions. Herein, recent progress in the field of organometallic cobalt-catalyzed C–H activation is reviewed until November 2015.
