Investigation of the activation mode of vinylarene in Giri's Ni-catalyzed vinylarene intermolecular 1,2-alkylarylation cross-coupling: a theoretical study

Abstract

Ni-catalyzed alkene intermolecular 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization cross-coupling is an efficient method to construct complex molecules from readily available starting materials. Typically, alkenes are proposed activated by radical addition mode in this cross-coupling...

Theoretical study on the copper-catalyzed asymmetric alkene trifluoromethyl–arylation cross-coupling reaction: origin of regio- and stereo-selectivity

“…2 As versatile building blocks, alkenes, a common type of an unsaturated bond molecule, are extremely useful in organic synthesis, and the functionalization of unsaturated alkenes is an efficient approach for developing intricate molecular frameworks. 3…”
