This account summarizes our work in the field of direct C-H bond functionalization. We have explored methods in the area of directing group assisted C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H activation and investigated arylation as well as deuteration reactions. In these transformations either ruthenium or palladium catalysts were applied. In case of C(sp2)-H activation, we developed a protocol for the synthesis of ortho arylated anilines and disclosed the first method for a direct arylation in a continuous flow reactor. Additionally, we applied a direct arylation in the synthesis of compounds which can accelerate cell differentiation. In the field of C(sp3)-H activation we
developed a protocol for the selective mono-arylation of piperidine and three different arylation protocols for acyclic amines employing either aryl chlorides, aryl bromides, aryl iodides, or arylboronic acid esters as the aryl donor.
