This review is focused onto the use of micellar catalysis in the context of the catalytic functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds. The micelles accumulate catalyst and reactants in their inner volume in such a high local concentration that kinetics are favored. The consequence is that in most cases, processes that in conventional organic solvents require high temperatures and long reaction times are achieved in milder conditions when micellar catalysis is employed.}, organization = {We thank to Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación for Grant PID2020-113797RB-C21 (also financed by FEDER “Una manera de hacer Europa”).
