  • Description: Transition‐metal‐catalyzed CH activation is considered to be an important tool in organic synthesis and has been accepted and widely used by chemists because it is straightforward, cost‐effective, and environmentally friendly. A variety of functional groups have been used to direct metal complexes and achieve regioselective CH activation. Most directing is achieved through the σ‐bond coordination of functional groups to the metal catalyst, followed by ortho‐selective CH bond cleavage. However, recent work has demonstrated that π‐coordinating functional groups can also assist in guiding metal complexes for site‐selective CH bond activation. This emerging approach significantly expands the scope of CH activation reactions in organic synthesis. Herein, recent developments in this field are summarized. Piece of pi: Transition‐metal‐catalyzed directing‐group‐assisted CH activation reactions play an indispensable role in organic synthesis. Most directing groups interact with metals through the σ coordination of their lone pairs, yet π‐bond directing groups also exist (see figure). The π‐coordination‐assisted CH bond functionalization reactions are summarized.
