Yehoshua Matza 20 years on the Jerusalem City Council, 10 of which were in the capacity of deputy mayor. The Matza family first arrived in Palestine from Ioannina in Greece, and settled in the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's walled Old City. Matza was born in the city during the British Mandate era. Influenced by his family's attitude, Matza joined the Jewish underground group Lehi at age 14. Of his three brothers, two were also active in the Jewish underground; one in the Haganah and the other in the Irgun. His Lehi activities included posting anti-British flyers during the night, participating in paramilitary
Meta-selective C–H functionalization copper catalyzed C–H arylation. "Meta"-olefinated biologically important biphenyl, amino acid and Baclofen derivatives have been accessed by remote C–H activation assisted by the "end-on" template. These demonstrate the potential applications of meta-selective C–H functionalization in medicinal chemistry. Meta-selective C–H functionalization "Meta"-selective C–H functionalization refers to the regioselective reaction of a substituted aromatic ring on the C–H bond "meta" to the substituent. Substituted aromatic ring is an important type of substructure in pharmaceuticals and industrial compounds. Thus, synthetic methods towards substituted aromatic rings are always of great interest to chemists. Traditionally, regioselectivity on the aromatic ring is achieved by the electronic
