TL;DR: This review focuses on Rh-catalyzed methods for C-H bond functionalization, which have seen widespread success over the course of the last decade and are discussed in detail in the accompanying articles in this special issue of Chemical Reviews.

TL;DR: Thompson et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a method for the generation of large combinatorial libraries of peptides and oligonucleotides that are then screened against a receptor or enzyme to identify high affinity ligands or potent inhibitors, respectively.

TL;DR: In several cases the methods that the group has developed for chelation-controlled C-H bond functionalization have been applied to the total synthesis of complex molecules such as natural products, highlighting the utility of these methods in organic synthesis.

TL;DR: Amino Acid Derivatives: Synthesis of R-Substituted Organometallic Reagents to N-tert-Butanesulfinyl Imines 3687 * E-mail: jellman@berkeley.edu.

TL;DR: The relevant mechanistic insights that enabled synthetic advances and distinguished the resulting transformations from other methods are emphasized and researchers will better understand the details of the aforementioned Rh-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions, resulting in the design of more efficient and robust catalysts, expanded substrate scope, and new transformations.
