Abstract
English
During the last years, new opportunities are represented by the development of 3d transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation, with possible benefits due to the significantly lower toxicity, high natural abundance and cost-effective nature of the employed metal catalysts. Within this thesis, two complexity-increasing domino reactions catalyzed by Cobalt and Manganese catalysts were developed. Furthermore, the first sustainable manganese(II/III/I)-catalyzed C–H arylations in continuous flow technology were achieved. Additionally, toxic and cost-intensive dihalide oxidants were for the first time replaced by electricity as a green and sustainable oxidant, allowing for versatile iron- and manganese-catalyzed C–H activations.
