In the current time, the development of new synthetic strategies, capable of enabling
step efficiency and atom economy by utilizing easily accessible starting materials
is highly desirable. In this regard, the C–H activation protocol is one of the most
promising approaches. The synthesis of heterocyclic moieties via a C–H activation
protocol starting from easy-to-handle, readily accessible starting materials is extremely
important and desirable. Olefins are generally considered as chemical feedstock for
the synthesis of various valuable products due to their wide availability. Although
unactivated olefins are easy to handle, due to their unbiased nature achieving total
regioselectivity remains a challenge.
