The selectivity is meta! Recent developments on transition‐metal catalyzed meta ‐selective CH functionalization are highlighted (see scheme; EDG=electron‐donating group, EWG=electron‐withdrawing group). The method is complementary to traditional methodologies and might provide numerous opportunities to access previously difficult organic products. Possible mechanisms are discussed.
