Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-formation reactions catalyzed by benign and inexpensive metals are of much interest in organic synthesis, as these reactions provide green and cost-effective routes. This account summarizes our recent contributions to the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds by using benign-metal catalysts. A number of carbon–heteroatom bond formations, including C–N, C–O, C–S, C–Se, C–Te, and C–P bond formations, are discussed. Mechanistic insights into several reactions are also reported
