| Abstract: | This Focus Review presents recent developments in the cleavage of C? C bonds in organic molecules. Significant progress in C? C activation, including the development of a variety of new synthetic strategies, has contributed to the development of this field over the past few decades. Transition‐metal‐mediated C? C bond cleavage has been shown to be a quite efficient process and several elegant metal‐free methods have also recently been developed. Strained rings have been widely used in C? C cleavage transformations; however, unstrained C? C activation has increasingly caught the attention of organic researchers, which inspired us to clarify the developments in this field. |
