Coinage metal-catalyzed or-mediated oxidative heteroarylation of arenes

[Display omitted] This review explores the coinage metal-catalyzed or-mediated oxidative heteroarylation of activated arenes or arenes possessing DG and focuses on the role of directing groups in influencing the efficiency and selectivity of product conversions. This leads to the construction of new CC and CN bonds. The synthesized heteroaryl products by this method are part of the many natural products, and have significance in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced material chemistry.
