1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating
solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic …

Olefins are synthetically useful building blocks in modern organic synthesis. Direct
functionalization of olefins; represent one of the most explored transformations in synthetic …

Alkene hydrocarbonation reactions have been developed to supplement traditional
electrophile-nucleophile cross-coupling reactions. The branch-selective hydroalkylation …

A nickel-catalyzed conjunctive cross-coupling of non-conjugated alkenes, alkyl halides, and
alkylzinc reagents is reported. Regioselectivity is controlled by chelation of a removable …

The efficient copolymerization of acrylates with ethylene using Ni catalysts remains a
challenge. Herein, we report two neutral Ni (II) catalysts (POP-Ni-py (1) and PONap-Ni-py …

Despite the frequent occurrence of γ-branched amines in bioactive molecules, the direct
catalytic asymmetric synthesis of this structural motif containing a remote stereocenter …

A Pd-catalyzed amide-directed enantioselective hydrocarbofunctionalization of unactivated
alkenes with C–H nucleophiles has been developed using a chiral monodentate oxazoline …

A palladium (II)-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization reaction has been developed, wherein
B2pin2 is used to trap chelation-stabilized alkylpalladium (II) intermediates that are formed …

The integration of amidyl radicals with cross-coupling chemistry opens new avenues for
reaction design. However, the lack of efficient methods for the generation of such radical …

Among the plethora of catalytic methods developed for hydrocarbofunctionalization of
olefins to date, reactions that regioselectively install a functionalized alkyl unit at the 2 …
