The principles of atom economy and environmentally benign chemical reactions have generated substantial interest in the development of methods based on the functionalization of carbon–hydrogen bonds.[1] To date, however, there have been far fewer reports on the functionalization of carbon–carbon single bonds. This is no surprise given the paramount steric obstacles a catalyst must overcome along the path to carbon–carbon bond activation. In early work in this area, Tipper and Bergman studied stoichiometric CÀC bond activation,[2] and subsequently, a variety of strategies addressing catalytic CÀC bond activation have been devised. To date, however, no truly general methods exist, and this area remains a major challenge for organic synthesis.[3] Of the systems developed thus far most have benefitted from ring strain,[4] chelation assistance,[5] or the formation of metal alcoholates to β-alkyl elimination [6] to allow for the selective cleavage of the CÀC single bond.Recent reports by Kuninobu and Takai on the rhenium (I)-catalyzed CÀ C bond formation by direct CÀH activation illustrate a unique mode of reactivity. The reaction of aldimine 1 with acetylenes using [{ReBr (CO) 3 (thf)} 2] as the catalyst afforded indene derivative 5 with excellent regioselectivity (Scheme 1).[7] The yield of the reaction was improved when a CO ligand was removed from the active catalyst which presumably results in a vacant coordi-
