Abstract

Abstract : Thefront cover image provided by Wenbo Ma and Lutz Ackermann, illustrates the ruthenium‐ and silver‐catalyzed selective C–H alkenylations, thiolations and selenylations of phenazones with alkenes, disulfides and diselenides. These transformations could be applied to a wide range of substrates and proceed with excellent levels of chemo‐ and site‐selectivity as well as high functional group tolerance. The power of the C–H functionalization strategy was also reflected by late‐stage diversification to access selectively substituted pyrazolones with diverse pharmacological activities. Further details can be found in the full paper on page 966–973 (W. Ma, H. Dong, D. Wang, L. Ackermann, Adv. Synth. Catal .2017, 359, 966–973 (DOI:10.1002/adsc.201600937 )
