CH activation/functionalization is one of the most effective ways to assemble complex organic scaffolds. A vital limitation is the need for a directing group that remains in the product architecture and restricts structural diversity. In their Communication on page 7242 ff. , Y. Huang et al. describe a triazine directing group for C sp 2H activation/functionalization. This group exhibits substantial post‐functionalization synthetic versatility, thus allowing for a range of further transformations.
