“…The addition of Grignard reagents across carbon-carbon multiple bonds (carbomagnesiation) is a principal and important reaction in organic syntheses for the generation of Grignard reagents with the complicated structure of carbon skeletons. 1 It is known that methyl, aryl, allyl, and primaryalkyl Grignard reagents efficiently undergo carbomagnesiation and form diverse unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes, alkynes, and dienes in the absence or presence of transition metal catalysts (Zr, 2 Ti, 3 Mn, 4 Fe, 5 Ni, 6 Cu). 7 However, branched alkyl Grignard reagents such as sec-and tert-alkyl Grignard reagents are generally poor substrates for such transformations, 8 particularly for non-activated unsaturated hydrocarbons having no heteroatom moieties.…”
