One important class of biological reactive intermediates arising in the course of human xenobiotic metabolism are arene and alkene oxides.

Close metal-arene contacts are also observed at 3.11-3.15 A.

Such a helpmeet am I that thou bringest from Arene.

A simple and practical NaI-catalyzed direct C-H sulfenylation of arenes has been developed under air.

DNA bases like adenine are electron-deficient arenes that are well suited for interacting favorably with anions.

Applying this approach to simple benzene or other arenes also affords arylation products with good yield and site selectivity.
