Metal-catalyzed highly Markovnikov-type selective hydrofunctionalization of terminal alkynes providing a straightforward and atom-economical route to access 1,1-disubstituted alkenes has been summarized.
Nickel-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of π-substrates is a possibly effective method to synthesize several value-added molecular architectures. This review covers the NiH catalyzed hydrofunctionalization reactions of alkenes, alkynes and allenes.
Direct functionalization of unactivated alkenes via visible-light photocatalysis has emerged as a highly effective strategy for the rapid construction of multi-functional, complex molecular architectures from simple, abundant chemicals.
Applicable cobalt-hydride-mediated selective, divergent hydroetherification, and sequential hydroetherification/hydroarylation of dienes with simple phenol feedstocks under a photoredox and cobalt catalytic system have been developed.
This review carefully summarizes the advances achieved in catalytic hydrofunctionalization of ynamides and is categorized by the bond formation type including C−C, C−X, C−O, C−N, C−S, C−P, C−Si, and C−Ge bonds.
