“…Because the nucleophilic substrate is generally an organometallic species that is separately prepared from an electrophile, a more streamlined approach to C–C bond formation involves the reductive coupling of two electrophilic reagents in a cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) . Pioneering work by Périchon, − Weix, , and Gosmini, along with key advances by Gong, − Reisman, − MacMillan, and others, − has propelled this once nascent methodology to the forefront of approaches for C–C bond formation. ,,− …”
