Transition metal-catalyzed Cvinyl–Cvinyl bond formation via double Cvinyl–H bond activation

Abstract

Transition metal-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenative coupling reactions of C_aryl–H bonds with C_vinyl–H bonds to generate a C_aryl–C_vinyl bonds have been well developed in recent decades. However, only a few studies have focused on the direct C_vinyl–C_vinyl bond formation via double C_vinyl–H bond activation. Recent developments in this active area have been highlighted in this tutorial review.
