Hitherto considered inert C−H bonds can react in formal annulation reactions using metal‐catalyzed activation, which allows the conversion of readily available substrates into highly valuable cyclic products in a rapid and sustainable manner. In their Review on page 11000 ff., M. Gulías and J. L. Mascareñas make a classification of these powerful synthetic transformations on the basis of the mechanism and consideration of the number of atoms involved in the annulation.
