Transition metal catalyzed hydroarylation of olefins that occurs through metal-mediated C�H activation and olefin insertion offers potential advantages over traditional Friedel-Crafts catalysts. We will highlight recent developments using transition metal catalysts for the hydroarylation of unactivated substrates including benzene, ethylene, propylene, etc. The presentation will focus on new catalysts and mechanistic studies.
